My Project

These water bottles and blankets would help out our class tremendously. A blanket for nap time would mean that each child is covered and can rest from warmth. Because the children do go outside for recess and other activities, they work up a sweat and thirst. Water bottles in the class would mean less waste from store bought water bottles and cups from getting water all day. It'll also be more sanitary and no mess due to the straw spout that closes when not in use. This also will create roles of responsibility for the children to keep up and take care of their water bottles and blankets.
