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 Students
Girls Rock! I know it and I'm sure that you do too! Now, I just need to convince my lovely, young ladies! I teach at a single gender public school in the inner-city.
The population at my school is one hundred percent minority girls with approximately forty percent categorized as ESL or ELL.
All of my students are on the free lunch program and live in low-income neighborhoods. District issues with staffing and resources are causing my students to miss educational experiences that will help them find success in college and beyond. These are wonderful, young ladies with a thirst for knowledge and my mission is to provide them with the tools and knowledge they need to rise above their current circumstances.
My Project
My students need water bottles to stay hydrated in the classroom and infused water is especially beneficial because it makes the act of drinking water more enjoyable, both for the taste buds and the eyes.
Studies have shown that when your brain is functioning on a full reserve of water, you will be able to think faster, be more focused, and experience greater clarity and creativity.
Having access to water in class will help us maximize and capitalize on every learning moment that sparks in our classroom. When we have to take water breaks, someone is missing out on vital learning time.
