My Project

It is only mid-April but our classroom is already heating up! Many of my students do not have a reusable water bottle, so they spend a lot of time getting water at the water fountain out of the classroom.

I'd like to provide them with dishwasher safe water bottles that I can take home each week to clean.

This will keep them hydrated when it's hot in our room and also engaged in our learning.

Stickers to help decorate the water bottles will also help them keep track of which bottle belongs to which student.
