About the Project

In Project Legacy, our 6th graders and kindergartners will work collaboratively to design and execute the enhancement of our outdoor kindergarten play and learning space. According to the CDC, 90% of children’s time is spent indoors, and outdoor playtime is a developmentally appropriate need for 5-6-year-olds. Project Legacy will enhance and maximize our students’ time spent outdoors while creating a collaborative project amongst grade levels to leave a lasting legacy on our school. This collaboration between our kindergarten and 6th-grade students and teachers will form teams across grade levels to reimagine our play area. This project will strengthen student relationships across grade levels, teachers, and families.
