My Project

For this project, I am asking for a kettle, tea, hot chocolate, cups, and supplies to make my students warm drinks while reading in our English classes. Keeping students warm and comfortable becomes even more critical as the weather gets colder. Offering students a cup of tea or hot chocolate can warm them up and create a calming atmosphere in the classroom. Besides, is there anything better than a good book and a warm cup of tea (or cocoa)?

Something as simple as a cup of tea can significantly impact a student's ability to focus while letting them know they are cared for and important.
