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

Research shows that there is a link between dehydration and poor cognitive function in children. Children who are dehydrated are less able to concentrate and focus in class. Drinking water throughout the day helps support a student immune system. Hydrated students have fewer headaches, fewer stomach aches, and are not as sleepy during class. Having water bottles for our students would help us keep our students hydrated, healthy, and learning. I come from a Title I school, and many of our students cannot afford to purchase water bottles on their own.

Pencils are the tool we use the most in class each day when they are dull it is hard to finish our work.

A new pencil sharpener will keep our students working without worrying!

Having a good pencil sharpener will ensure our pencils will last when we are using them in class each day. No more worrying about broken pencils! Students can be ready for each new day! This project will help me provide them for those students.
