Saving Time!

Earlier this fall, it was extremely hot for the students. After recess, the children are all lined up @ the water fountain waiting to get a drink of water. This process was taking @ least 10 minutes every time they would come in from recess. This time is wasted and these minutes add up. So, I gave an idea to my cooperating teacher. The idea is that every child has a water bottle @ the sink with their names on it. The children are allowed to refresh their water bottles @ the beginning of recess or beginning of school. It's exciting to announce that this strategy has worked. Everyday, this class has saved several minutes a day. Within a few minutes, all of the children are quenching their thirst. When they come in from recess, they can quickly grab their water bottle and they all drink water all @ the same time. I love little successes!
