Do you remember coming in from recess and gym class and being incredibly thirsty?
I teach 24 first graders in an inner city and high crime area in Pennsylvania.
We spend at least 20 minutes in line at the water fountain on a daily basis. Only a few of my students are reading at grade level. I would like them to spend more time with their studies than at the water fountain.
My Project
I am requesting that my students have healthy beverages such as cranberry juice, orange juice and water available to them. I want my students to be able to spend less time at the water fountain and more time reading and writing.
I am also requesting cleaning wipes for our classroom. I want my students to stay healthy and have fewer germs.
I think that if students are well hydrated and healthy that they will be more equipped to do the best that they can be.
Please help keep my students healthy. I feel that if my students have healthy drinks that they be able to concentrate better in their studies.
