My Project

We are moving up to a larger classroom that has an all tile floor. Sometime my students need to eat lunch and snack in the classroom. The cafeteria can be over stimulating at times. Because of this, we end up with many messes in our classroom. In order to keep it clean in a timely manner the vacuum and mop will be great for us. We will be able to quickly clean our messes up. We will also have rugs so a vacuum is a must. We also will have a bathroom in our new room and the Tinco will help us keep it nice and clean.
