The Simplicity of a Sandbox
What started as a simple sandbox with a few logs and boards has turned into an avenue for imagination and creativity. Each day during recess and after school students head to this play space and start using their imaginations. Logs become the foundation for a house and boards are used as bridges. It has been a joy to watch as our youngest students learn through play.
