Cozy Quarters: Architecture of Warmth| K-5th Grade Winter Curriculum

Create a warm, wonder-filled learning experience your learner will love.
Cozy Quarters is a flexible, neurodiversity-affirming, project-based unit designed for elementary learners who thrive with hands-on exploration, clear structure, and comforting themes. This unit blends science, engineering, literacy, art, and creative thinking into a gentle, inviting journey through what makes spaces feel safe, warm, and cozy.

Across engaging weekly themes like Insulation Investigations, Fireplace Science, Textile Exploration, Comfort Design, and Personal Cozy Corners, learners build confidence through discovery-based lessons that honor sensory needs, encourage curiosity, and celebrate student creativity.
