My Project

My main goal is to help every one of my pupils meet the standards for academic success that have been established. This means making certain that they have the bare minimum of necessities. My kids must make sure they are getting lots of water in order to stay focused and prepared to learn. We are frequently under boil water notices and sometimes without water completely. As we approach the upcoming new school year in Mississippi, our temperatures are steadily rising. It can become rather warm in our classrooms. This can make it difficult for my students to focus. Maintaining fluid intake is crucial to our bodies and has a direct impact on academic success.

My students need water to stay hydrated and learn during hot school days.

They will stay cool and avoid overheating during the school day. Water, juices, and mini fans will assist my students in staying focused and ready to learn.
