Making an Old Room Feel New

Help me give my students a clean, safe and welcoming art room. My new position found me in a dilapidated classroom that needs a lot of sprucing up.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Please help me provide a clean and safe space for my students. I recently got a different teaching position as a middle school art teacher. The room is in an old school and has no windows. I’ve spent about four weeks decluttering and sanitizing the space, and want it to maintain it once the kids return. Due to the lack of windows and current state of the classroom, I’d like to ensure a safe air quality with an air purifier and new vacuum. I’d also like to cover some spaces of the linoleum where it is worn and no longer even.
