Outdoor Classroom

The Willett's 2017-18 goal is to create a new outdoor classroom to enrich the science curriculum and provide fun and engaging time exploring nature.

This space will include:

-Outdoor tables for classroom use
-15 or more raised gardening beds for hands-on gardening and nature exploration
-Planting soil, gravel, and plants
-Outdoor storage for items such as: hand-held gardening tools, watering cans, natural gardening materials, hoses, etc.
-Large stumps or rocks for safe climbing, balancing, seating, and exploring
-Canopy or sailcloth to create a shaded area above tables
-Gravel or tumbled stone to create paths or walkways around the raised beds
-Fencing around the entire area and keep children in a safe enclosed space

-Water play and science discovery bins and tables
