A Clean Classroom Is A Happy, Healthy Classroom!

Help me give my students a clean, comfortable classroom! We have lots of germs in Preschool, so sanitizing wipes, spray, soap and tissues are essential to keep everyone healthy!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Bowlen's classroom raised $206

My Project

In our Preschool classrooms, we have a lot of busy learners who are 3, 4 and 5 years old. We have many centers, hands-on projects and supplies that keep everyone excited and engaged so surfaces can get messy! Students are also learning that we keep germs to ourselves and the importance of tissues and hand washing, so our hands can also get messy!

In order to keep ourselves and our toys, tables, nap cots, and supplies clean while earning, we go through a lot of cleaning supplies!

We spray down cots, cubbies, and handles, and wipe our tables multiple times each day. Students wash their hands after the bathroom, before and after meals and before center time at minimum so soap is used all day long! We also teach that germs are not to be shared so use a tissue not yourselves to clean noses so they go quick! Thanks so much for helping us keep our students healthy and happy so they can continue to learn all year long! Little hands love to explore and learn!
