My Project

My students all have a responsibility in our classroom to keep our community clean and functioning! We have an amazing custodial staff that does their very best to keep up with all of the demands put on them.

However, we are a pretty busy and hands-on room, so we do a lot of things that require a good clean-up after.

Our vacuum recently broke in our room and we're looking to level up our cleaning game.

The vacuum will help our space feel less cluttered and more conducive to thinking and learning. It will also facilitate ownership and responsibility to the class.
