My Project

These trucker hats will help instill pride and build community within our school. Grade levels often have field trips, but it becomes hard to gather my students back together. If all of them were wearing hats representing our class this task would be easier. These hats will help build community - all of the students and teachers will have the same type of hat. It will build pride. My students will feel good going on trips and attending community events because our personally designed hats with adhesive patches will stand out and show people we are a community of learners. My students will feel more like a family with these hats on.

With these kid-designed hats, our students will exude pride in their school and community.

The sense of community and family would shine through and be evident as they walk out of the school, with each wearing their hat, representing our class and school community. It will be so much easier to find a member of our class. Our students will feel confident. Our students will be cohesive.
