The wonderful thing about my students is that each one of them comes to school every day with the most important tool they will need throughout their lives, a desire to explore. With just this one tool it is possible to spark so much growth.
When you were a student do you remember ever feeling embarrassed to raise your hand in class when you knew the answer to a question?
My students are incapable of such nonsense! They are eager to share their experiences; what they already know and what they want to learn. Each day that I get to spend learning with them is a gift. They are keeping me young!
My Project
Our students are fortunate to have a class set of boots to wear in the rain and snow, but they will need sweatpants to change into so that their own clothes can stay warm and dry. These sweatpants are thick enough to keep our students warm while exploring the wonders of the great outdoors. They also have open legs to make them easier for the students to put on themselves.
Playing outside has become a lost art but our teachers are committed to providing these experiences for our students.
In a school setting, however, there can be many obstacles to these opportunities. These pants will allow each student to participate in these activities without relying on parents to send in extra clothing on a given day. The pants will be used year after year to support our students.
