My Project

Students love my classroom with its incredible library and flexible seating. What they don't love is how cold it is.

These blankets will help students feel comfortable while curled up with their choice book.

I have noticed how comfortable students are sharing in class and how focused they are when they have one of the few blankets available. I want to provide enough blankets that every student who would like to use one has access to one. I also have many students who don't have warm enough clothes when the weather starts changing. These blankets will help my students stay focused in class all year long.
