My Students

My students are all Native American who are currently performing below grade level in reading and writing. They are amazingly talented and work extremely hard at all they do. Many come from challenging home life environments and have been through more in their lives than many adults out there. Students come from many surrounding areas and some have 2.5 hour plus bus rides to and from school each day. They are amazing,. Talented, hard working, skilled,. Articulate,. Caring, giving, and loving.

My Project

Our water runs warm and kids want to run to the cold fountain. This takes time and disrupts the learning. Ice in the classroom will keep them cool and save time. It will also help with stem projects and the minor bumps and bruises that occur here and there around school. Research shows hydration helps students stay focused and enhances their ability to learn and grow every day. What else can I say. This is a cheap way to make and improve our everyday classroom experience. These students are amazing and well deserving. Help me to support their daily learning.
