My Project

Children are curious about everything they can explore using their senses. If you watch a newborn baby, they are learning and exploring using their five sense. The simple input we take for granted is the first teacher that an infant learns from as it begins to explore the world. Yet, we deny our children from learning about their curiosity and what intrigues them because someone believes that binding them to a desk in a classroom to pass a test is considered learning and is what best prepares them for the future.

Winter is coming and the weather shouldn't put a stoppage to learning or being active.

When it rains or if it's cold, our children are disappointed because they cannot go outside. They would love to have the chance to go out on a cold or snowy day to explore and play. Their enthusiasm has inspired this project, so every day, whether the weather is sunny or rainy, they will have the opportunity to get out there and stay active.

The hats, gloves, and scarves will allow our kids to go out every day, regardless of the weather. When the weather gets cold, it becomes a reason for our kids to stay in. But, the cold should not prevent our kids from staying active. Your support would mean the world to our 18 curious explorers and help keep them warm. The ability to go out and play in the cold and snow will add new inquiries and studies to take back into the classroom.
