My Project

I am a begging teacher at a Title 1 school. I want to help keep my classroom clean, sanitized, and safe for my students and myself. After a day full of second-grade learning, my classroom is in desperate need of a cleaning.

Our awesome custodians have enough on their hands trying to keep the entire school clean and I want to help out by being able to vacuum my classroom at the end of every school day.

We track an enormous amount of dirt in when we come back in from recess or when we come back in from taking a nature walk.

I want my students to be able to enjoy the fresh air while also being able to keep our classroom clean!
