Classroom Cleaning with Care and Effort

Help me give my students a clean, healthy classroom with dust-free book shelves! We need a vacuum cleaner we can use to keep our classroom cabinets, supply shelves, closets, and textiles free of dust and allergens.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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 Students

The students at my school are creative, passionate and curious. My school serves a diverse population and is part of a diversity pilot project in NYC. We strive to maintain a racial, ethnic, and economic mix because we believe that integration and equal access benefit everyone. Students with special learning needs are fully integrated into the classroom, and everyone's learning benefits as a result.

The kids in my class this year are bursting with questions about the world around them.

Anything they hear or read about, they want to know more. They have a wide range of learning needs and I want to make learning fully accessible to each and every one of them!

These kids care a lot about social justice and making the world a welcoming place for everyone. They are passionate about topics such as sustainability, politics, school integration, and feminism, to name a few! Each year they dig deep into two big integrated units of study that combine social studies, science, reading, and writing. In fourth grade, they study New York City and think hard about ways to improve it for future generations. They are the change we want to see in the world.

My Project

Our school is situated right above a busy Brooklyn highway, and we have to keep our windows open most of the year. That means our lovely books and learning materials are constantly dusty and grime piles up quickly. We need a high-powered vacuum cleaner to use twice a week on all the surfaces and nooks and crannies.

In our classroom, everyone contributes to keep the room in good working order.

Table groups work together to manage supplies, books, and work. Kids who really love to organize are in charge of the classroom library system, and our animal lovers take care of the pond critters and our guinea pig. Our cleanaholic community members will be in charge of vacuuming the room twice a week so that everything feels and looks spic and span. We hope a vacuum will reduce allergies and help our books last longer, too!
