We have a nice, new carpet with no way of consistently keeping it clean. This needs to change!
I serve twenty-two, first grade students who live in the heart of the mountains of Eastern Kentucky.
They are bright, energetic, and extremely eager learners. They are at a very critical time in their life, the beginning stage of reading. Their focus should be on learning, rather than what they don't have or what they need.
My Project
I'm requesting a vacuum cleaner with the necessary bags to keep it in operation throughout the school year. Our classroom rug is neglected at times due to not having a means by which to vacuum it. This new vacuum will ensure my students are sitting on a clean rug each day and the group rug is being used to the fullest.
The batteries will be used to keep their hot dot pens, wireless mouse, phonics pads, and assessment recorders in use. It is hard to look at a student and tell them we have no batteries to reinforce reading and math through electronics.
Having the vacuum cleaner and batteries will make a true difference in our classroom.
Students will be able to utilize their carpet knowing it is clean and fresh each day. Be a part of providing a gift that will continue to give year after year. Thank you for your support.
