Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Encouraging preschoolers to have their water bottles fosters a sense of independence and self-sufficiency. They learn to recognize when they're thirsty and take responsibility for meeting their hydration needs by refilling their bottles as necessary. Having water bottles in the classroom reduces the risk of accidents or spills when children leave the room to get a drink from a shared water source, such as a fountain.

When preschoolers have easy access to water in the classroom, they don't need to leave the room to get a drink.

This minimizes disruptions to the learning environment and helps them stay focused on classroom activities.

Individualized bottles reduce the risk of spreading germs and illnesses from sharing cups or bottles. Having their bottle allows children to personalize their hydration experience with colors, designs, or stickers. This sense of ownership can motivate them to drink more water and take pride in their hydration habits.
