Abstract

The Megwayaak Project at the time of this report is as follows: to develop an outdoor classroom that not only caters to the curriculum set forth by the Leech Lake Early Childhood Development, but takes into strong consideration the research presented in Jessie Austin’s report of The Benefits of Nature-Based Learning and Play for Young Children’s Health, Development and Well-Being (Austin, 2019). The report that was compiled and presented in the spring of 2019 will act as a framework for the outdoor learning space’s design. To compliment the previous report, the research from Teaching Strategies GOLD’s Objectives for Development & Learning, Birth Through Third Grade (GOLD’s, 2015) will aid in development of the overall programming of the space, as well as set both qualitative and quantitative standards to track overall achievements of the goals to be set forth.

Description

The Megwayaak project is in its final stages at the Aabinoojii Oshkii Bimadiziiwin Center in Cass Lake, Minnesota. The final stage of the Megwayaak Project is to develop an outdoor learning classroom design. Once constructed, children and teachers from the Leech Lake Early Childhood Development will be able to use their 8 Outdoor Learning Guides in the designed spaces. This final portion of the project will bring together years of planning and research, and will activate the 3 acre wooded space for the children and teachers. The Megwayaak Project will also act as a design and curriculum template for the other Leech Lake Head Start and Leech Lake Early Head Start locations.
