My Project

Our school has an Outdoor Learning Focus. However the older Elementary students do not have 17.5 inch sized chairs fitting for their height. The students will benefit from new chairs in the classroom learning environment. The lightweight folding chairs will allow students to independently move them as needed to join outdoor learning under the new outdoor tent so we can hold class outdoors and stack for easy clean-up and storage.

Anything that can be done inside the classroom can also be done outside in nature.

These new chairs will foster art, music, Lego class outdoors. As well as chairs for outdoor breakfast/lunch or parent workshops under the new outdoor tent. This is a concept my school has been fostering over the last three years in the Covid context. Thank you for considering this project.

Happy Nature Learning!
