Imaginations are blooming in our Outdoor Play Garden.

PreK's outdoor time is ripe with imaginative play.  Of course, no one mentions they are actually learning and applying new skills and knowledge.

This is a "haunted house, just look at the ghosts inside".

They're building "a house with a place in the middle to sit and read".

Or you can "put things together cause it's fun" if you have the right tools.

Sometimes it's important to just "be big".

We can also "stay in our cars and just talk for fun" with our friends.

An Outdoor Classroom grant from Lowe's helped us get this space developed.  We use the picnic tables for our manipulative stations and have 2 sand/water play tables, a playhouse (thank you Hay girls), an area for digging up "treasures", open area for cars or ball play, and a dry channel last year's 5th grade created that we use for exploration.
