My Project

The less hygienic the environment is, the more likely both students and staff are to get sick. Classrooms that are not properly maintained become homes for harmful germs and bacteria, which results in sickness. Some must-have classroom cleaning essentials are Paper Towels, Antibacterial Wipes and Hand Sanitizer.

Having appropriate school supplies decreases classroom disruptions that often hinder effective teaching and learning.

Pencils are the foundational building block of writing in school.

Incentives are used to encourage positive behavior in students, such as effective listening during lessons, displaying a positive attitude and values in and out of class, and following simple instructions.
