Project Linus
Posted by Carlene Gordon
During a third grade Mindfulness activity, students shared memories of a special blanket. Third graders were asked to envision themselves wrapped up in a soft blanket while focusing on the sounds of their breathing and the calmness throughout their bodies. Students shared that a special blanket made them feel “loved,” “warm,” “comforted” and “peaceful.” Our students decided that all children should have this feeling and an idea was born! We decided to join Project Linus volunteers and make blankets for children in need. Soon our students were in the Unquowa Makerspace measuring, cutting and tying knots. In the end, we created nine blankets which were donated to the local Project Linus chapter coordinator from Danbury. We are honored to report that our blankets are scheduled to go to an overnight camp for children in need this coming summer.
