Blanketeers to the Rescue...on a Mission!
Funded Aug 26, 2024Thank you so much for your incredible support of my students and classroom. We were finally able to assemble the blankets last week and the children were beyond proud of themselves. They worked hard-many of them learning how to tie knots for the first time and overcame a significant amount of frustration. They had to work collaboratively to complete a blanket in order to be successful.
We had a lot of conversations leading up to this project to discuss the value in giving to others and how simple gestures can make a big impact for someone else. The children chatted quietly with each other as they worked, pondering how the child that receives their blanket would feel and many of them gave the blanket a big squeeze to "hug" the other child that will be on the receiving end of the dedication.
Children at this age are just learning that other people have feelings and thoughts and this project does so much to expand their compassion towards others who are experiencing a hard time. Thank you so much for helping me instill this love of giving in my students.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Hurley
