The issue w/ noise relates more than how many other classes may be outside (space) and construction.

    -no high school sized fairy rings

    -picnic tables often taken by other grades/ classes

    -not enough clipboards and kids don't bring their own

    -students equate outside with play... of course, the only way to fix this is more time outside. It is still a current obstacle.

Already crunched for time, so this makes everything harder.

    Chromebooks not connecting or not fully charged and kids don't always check that.
