Welcome to Grade 3 You Decide
My school is holding a coat drive. My family doesn’t have any extra coats to give, but I still want to help with the project. What should I do?
Dear Weekly Reader,
You could just help. That works.
-Ryan
Dear Weekly Reader,
If you don’t have any spare coats, make a small money donation. It may not be a coat, but it will help.

Dear Weekly Reader,
Hi. My name is Haley. I decided you could ask all your friends and see if any of them can give a coat to you so you can participate in the coat drive.
-Haley
Dear Weekly Reader,
I would ask my extended family members if they have any coats that they could donate. Maybe see if a store would donate a coat also.
-Andrew
Dear Weekly Reader,
You could help pack them in boxes, or ask what else they needed help with.
-Randalyn
Dear Weekly Reader,
I think you should ask to pass out coats instead of giving people coats.
-Deasia
Dear Weekly Reader,
We think that if she doesn’t have any coats to give that she could volunteer her time to help with the project. She could take up the coats and pack them in a box for the project.

Dear Weekly Reader,
I would call all of my family and friends to see if they had any coats to give away.
Sometimes coat drives also need other things like blankets, hats, and scarves.

Dear Weekly Reader,
I would ask my friends if they had any extra coats that they don’t wear anymore and if I could have one to donate.
-Elizabeth
Dear Weekly Reader,
Our 3rd grade class decided that we would ask family members and neighbors for coat donations.
-Ms. Waterman’s 3rd grade class
Dear Weekly Reader,
I think she should make a hot cocoa stand to sell hot cocoa and use the money to buy coats for the coat drive.
-Bryant
Dear Weekly Reader,
Even if you don’t have a coat to donate, you can make posters and tell people about the project.
-Mrs. O’Sullivan’s class
