My Project

My students are a wonderful group of Third Graders who love to learn and explore the world around them. Hats, gloves and blankets will allow my students to be able to enjoy recess outdoors comfortably and then come inside and enjoy their quiet reading time snug as a bug with their blankets. Being able to snuggle up with a book is what would truly make them become engrossed in reading and allow them to sustain their independent reading time and grow it too. Being able to be outside running around and playing in all types I want to bring back the simple pleasures of being a kid!
