My Project

My students often ask multiple times a day to go out of the class to get a drink. Having their own water bottles that will stay in the class and not miss out on instruction. It will also teach them to be responsible. They will have to keep track of their own water bottle as well as cleaning their own water bottle at the end of each day. The brushes that are on the order will help teach my students life skills of their water bottle each day. In an addition to the water bottle often times my students want flavoring. So having the different options to pick flavoring will make them happy!
