This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
A classroom with 20 students can get messy floors relatively quick. Imagine a classroom with 30 students. Now picture those same 30 students on a fall or winter day bringing in outside dirt and leaves into the classroom. Our students are Title 1 students that are provided "Breakfast in the Class" every school day. This results in crumbs throughout the classroom.
Our custodian has a strict calendar for sweeping and vacuuming our classrooms, so we don't get daily sweeping or vacuuming.
I believe my kids deserve a clean and welcoming learning environment. Even though I teach my kids to pick up after themselves, it's those crumbs that they usually can't get. I make every effort to sweep my classroom on a daily basis, but sometimes it is impossible because of meetings, after-school student clubs, or intervention. The Roomba will help keep our classroom clean. My students and I will be at ease knowing our classroom floors will be swept on a daily basis.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
