Project Based Learning: Designing Cool Playgrounds!



Hi Families!  

We have been very busy in Kindergarten designing playgrounds that stay cool in the sun! First, we noticed that there was a problem...sometimes, the sun warms our playground and makes it too hot. Ouch! Next, we did some research and took a look at some ways that different playgrounds are built and protected from the sun's heat. Next, we drew individual plans for how we would like to design a playground that stays cool in the sun. Finally, Mrs. Dupuis paired us up with a buddy and we worked together to build 3-D playgrounds that stay cool in the sun. Boy, did we work hard as structural engineers! So glad it's a long weekend! ; )

Love, Mrs. Dupuis' K Team
