Water for One and Water for All

Help me give my students water to quinch their thirst and stay hydrated.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Roach's classroom raised $174

My Project

I am a ELA teacher, and I have noticed that some of the students are requesting water bottles on a regular basis each and every day. I have students always asking me if I have water when they come to my class. Due to being super thirsty and craving water, some ask for a bottle of water after gym, before or after lunch or just through-out the day . We all need water in order to perform at the best of our ability.

Every single day over half of my students ask for water, sometimes I have a bottle to give them and some times I don't.

With having water for the students in class, this not only will quinch their thirst but also help them to stay on track while in class. Some days are hotter than others in class. With having access to bottled water this will help keep my students cool and at ease. I want to be able to provide this basic need to my students so that they can stay hydrated and focus on learning. Ultimately, learning is the main goal. Thank you for supporting my students and our classroom.
