The Art Wall will feature large art boards with multiple surfaces and a range of opportunities to create. The large 1, 2, 3 number sculptures were left by the previous owner of 1547 N. Dearborn, Ann Lurie, and will be incorporated in this dynamic creativity wall. The Outdoor Classroom, with a round seating area, can be used as an alternate teaching environment or a space for quiet play or performance. The Outdoor Play Area will provide ample space for play. It will include a poured rubber surface for running, and riding and free play; a climbing mound and slide that is just the right size for JK and SK students; and big blocks, and other large-scale toys for construction and play. Raised Planting Beds will allow students to observe, care for and grow their own edible garden, which will connect to classroom discussions, in science and other subjects. There also will be a built-in water collection system and composting area. The Learning Garden will contain a wide variety of Math and STEM Resources, including large and small manipulatives for discovery, as well as materials for student-led engineering projects.
