My Project

We are currently experiencing the coldest December we've had in nearly 20 years. Most of my students walk to school or catch the city bus and need proper attire to keep warm.

I want to make sure my students have coats, hats, gloves, socks and more to keep them warm and safe as they travel to and from school.

My little learners tend to catch colds easily, so being properly bundled in freezing temperatures is essential. I also want them to have warm blankets for naptime, as the room can often become very chilly. During these months, we love to make hot chocolate in class and send some home for them to follow the steps and make it with their families too. They'll use the tote bags to carry all of their items to and from school so they don't leave them on the bus or subway.

Please help me give my students everything they need to stay warm and cozy this winter!
