Creating An Outdoor Classrooom and Garden
Funded Dec 2, 2020
First and foremost, THANK YOU! We have taken our garden supplies and put them to good use. The students were able to unpack the items, assemble them and use them. Our Outdoor Garden and Classroom has really come alive.
When we received the items, the students opened the Amazon packages and unpackaged what arrived. The looks on their faces were ones of curiosity and excitement. They were able to open the packages and assemble them if (assembly was required). The fun part for me was watching them use the tools and take pride and ownership for them. Each day one or more of the tools are used to water, edge, clean by blowing the leaves and debris away.
The laminator was a hit. The students were able to preserve some of the items (leaves that were found on our discovery walk around campus. They made bookmarks and were able to take a bit of their learning home with them.
Thank you again for your generosity!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Steen
This classroom project was brought to life by San Diego Gas & Electric and 2 other donors.

Our school has created, built, and maintained a class garden and outdoor classroom area. This area has become much more than “just” a garden. The students have grown succulents, flowers, tomatoes, sunflowers and numerous other items. The students work in the garden learning to grow food, understand the purpose of gardens and the responsibility it takes to maintain a garden. The students take ownership, daily, for their items in the garden (weeding and watering and pruning). Working in the garden burns more calories than many activities, this allows students to dream, imagine, and produce plants and foods that they cultivate. Working in the outdoors allows students the opportunity to get fresh air, let their brains function beyond a book or technology activity, and get understand more of their environment and community. The outdoor learning center will allow Santee Success to take the classroom outdoors. Students can do science experiments, observations, and students have become active participants, gained Universal Access to learning and understanding, and continue with a Growth Mindset. The outdoor learning center allows access for life skills and coping skills; working together and getting dirty in the outdoor classroom, has shown to promote collaboration and team building which has resulted in a positive school climate. This project will provide more tools, like a sweeper, a hose reel, new hoses, and other items.
