Clean Classroom Needed

My students need a clean carpet to sit , read, and write on.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Firth's classroom raised $429

My Students

My second graders are a great group of students! My classroom is made up of thirty eager first graders. I also have a wide range of reading and math abilities in my classroom. My reading levels range from pre-kindergarten to fourth grade. It's important that I read with these children everyday to get them on grade level by the end of the year. Many of my students are very low readers, speak English as a second language and getting free or reduced price lunch. All my students will do anything for anybody, especially the ESL students. We are always bringing the best out of everyone. Despite my students' backgrounds, they all have one thing in common, and that is their love of learning and helping others.

My Project

My second grade students need a classroom vacuum that will last. On our carpet that we read, write and do math and it needs to stay clean and fresh. We do everything on this rug. Centers, story time, read alouds, show and tell, and more.

A typical day for us begins sitting on the floor in a circle and sharing out what we have learned about singing songs, reading stories and discussing what a good day we will have.

With 30 eager children to learn, it needs to be clean everyday. We need something easy to clean with where this easy cordless vacuum falls in. Thank you for thinking of us and keeping our future leaders in mind.
