My Project

Every year, I provide my students with a water bottle that is labeled with their name on it. We wash them in the classroom and students use them to drink water every single day for the whole school year. They come to value their bottle and it's their personal item they get to take with them from our class to their next year's class every year. Essentially, the students use them in K. 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade. Some students, who move on to other buildings still have them. Water helps students with learning. It provides them the hydration they need in our hot spring months.
