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.

My Project

Access to water is crucial to students' ability to concentrate and be active participants in their learning. It keeps their attention focused and limits their trips outside of the classroom.

I hope to provide my students with reusable water bottles and cups so they can hydrate themselves without leaving the classroom and disrupting classroom instruction.

Providing water bottles in the classroom will enable the students to stay focused on their lessons in the classroom. Classroom instruction will be more effective because students will not need to leave the classroom in order to get water.

Help me help my students with a ready to drink bottle of cool and healthy water!
