Whether the Weather Is Nice, Whether the Weather Is Not!

Help me give my students quality fishing bib pants so that they do not have to miss out on outdoor learning due to the weather.

My Students

My students are enthusiastic, engaged learners who love to work and play in nature and wild spaces. They attend school in a small rural community. The students I work with range in age from 5 to 7 years old. As we are making a school wide shift to being a sustainability academy, my students enjoy opportunities to be agents of change and to take charge of their own learning.

They are developing a strong sense of place and a love for the natural world.

Each week they engage in outdoor learning opportunities that always involve discussions around a campfire at base camp, forest choice time and opportunities to deepen what they have been working on in science, math and literacy inside the classroom.

My Project

My students love outdoor learning, but often due to lack of proper clothing, we sometimes miss this opportunity even when half the class has what they need.

I am seeking to build up my supply of high quality outdoor gear, so that eventually all students have the same access to proper clothing for outdoor learning.

These high quality fishing bib pants are rugged and easy to clean. This will help us to explore the woods, fields and muddy areas without compromising or damaging my students every day outer wear.

Having the same gear will remove the stigma of using "borrowed clothing".
