In Kitah Daled Extended Day, we noticed the need for an outdoor safe space. Sometimes friends would have a disagreement, become upset, and need some alone time. Other times friends would simply want a quiet place to go and look at books.
Morah Jessica brought in large sheet of pinky-orange acrylic with holes in it. This became one of the walls of our space.
Our first task was to build a sort-of frame around the edges of the acrylic sheet. Mr. James, our wonderful handyman donated some scrap wood for us to achieve this.
Morah Jessica drilled the holes and our Kitah Daled builders, along with some friends from Kitah Bet, attached the wood and acrylic together using a screw driver, wood screws, and washers.
We discovered that we would need brackets for mounting our new wall and keeping super sturdy.
Again, Morah Jessica drilled the holes and the children applied the screws along the bottom of the acrylic wall.
We decided a shower curtain would be the best option for the last wall. It could also act as a door.
The children chose a fun color curtain and Morah Rena ordered it along with a rod and mounts.
Kitah Bet helped Morah Jessica mount the curtain rod.
Then they helped test out the new enclosed space.
The sheer curtain gives the children a bit of privacy.
Most importantly, it also allows Morahs to keep friends safe!
