“My class was fully engaged with the 10-day homework exercise. Along with learning about water conservation, we also started a graphing unit. Parents were actively involved, and many households adopted new water-saving practices. It was brilliant!”

“The students enjoyed the gift bags with the reminds, stickers etc. They also were engaged in stamping the water saving actions. More clarity around when to stamp would have been good - e.g., for the juice vs water, do they only stamp if they've had the option to drink juice, and chosen water instead. The display was a little large - many classrooms don't have so much free wall space!”
