Thirsty for Knowledge

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

We started off this school year in a heat wave. I watched as my students wilted before my eyes. Many of my students come to school without a refillable water bottle. They must leave the room frequently in order to stay hydrated.

My students are thirsty for knowledge, but they shouldn't have to be thirsty for water!

Personalized water bottles will allow my students to quench their thirst for knowledge by staying in the classroom with a refillable water bottle. A well hydrated student will better be able to stay on task and soak up knowledge.
