Water Bottles
Research continues to support the fact that staying hydrated with water throughout the school day helps children focus and learn in class. Students in D4 are highly encouraged to bring a water bottle to school so they have fresh water at their finger tips each and every day. (We do have a water fountain in the classroom, but research has shown that having the water within arm's reach promotes increased consumption... and teacher observation has shown that it also cuts down on distractions and wasted class time with long lines at the water fountain! : ) Students can fill up their bottles in class as needed. Water bottles should be taken home on the last school day of each week for cleaning.
