Classroom Cleanliness

My Project

Preparing for the start of a new school year is no easy task. As hard as teachers work to start off with a clean classroom, regular "wear and tear" on materials and surfaces are signs of a properly functioning classroom. This is especially true when the classroom is student-centered and students have access to everything they need to work with independence.

A student-centered classroom requires regular maintenance in order to keep it clean and safe for everyone.

The supplies in this project will help us keep our classroom carpet clean and soft so that we have a cozy space to share ideas and work in groups. Dust and germs find their way into every nook and cranny, so things like gloves, dusters, and cleaning cloths are essential.

Please help me provide the necessary cleaning supplies so that we can work together to maintain a clean and safe space for everyone.
