The Inside-Out Project: Illustrating the Complexity of Relationships in Kindergarten and First Grade

A group of six children from kindergarten/first grade class in a Reggio-inspired program were involved in a four-month project to design an outdoor area in which indoor materials could be used. Facilitated by teachers and student teachers, projects provide a venue for children's integrated, developmentally appropriate learning. Because they integrate so many ways of addressing a common topic, projects are a way for children to meet multiple standards. They provide an appropriate learning tool for preschool as well as elementary school-age children. In this article, the authors describe the Inside-Out project, which highlights the importance of relationships with others in a school community. By thinking from the perspectives of the children and adults with whom they shared the facility, the small group of kindergarten and first grade children gained valuable relationship-building skills.
