In that 1954 kindergarten report, “wraps” means outerwear—coats, jackets, sweaters, scarves, etc.
So these two lines:
“I can take off and put on my wraps”
“I can hang my wraps correctly”
basically mean “I can put on/take off my coat and hang it up properly.”
“Wraps” was a much more common school term for children’s outer garments in the early/mid-20th century. Today a kindergarten report would probably say “outerwear” or “coat/jacket.”
In NJ (growing up in the 1970s) we would change from snowboots, pants, jackets, hats, mittens to our regular clothes in the morning and then reverse when leaving. Everyone walked in kindergarten. No one had cars or rode buses. The mom's in the neighborhood would switch off weeks to walk with all the kids to school.
