My Project

It is important to me that my students are able to come to my room and interact with peace of mind. This project covers many of the basic supplies needed to keep my space not just clean but sanitary for the upcoming school year. It is important that I have Lysol Disinfectant and Lysol Air Sanitizer to clean not just the furniture and items in my room, but also the air in which a number of students contribute to daily. The kleenex is even the type that ensures the least amount of chance for the spread of germs. The hand sanitizer is especially good for the school because of the high exposure risk as we have over 600 students interacting in the building at once. The lysol wipes also ensure that I can immediately wipe down desks, tables, door knobs, light switches etc - to ensure I am protecting my students. The swifferjet fluid is antibacterial to even ensure that I can properly clean my floor and eliminate exposure to bacteria or germs that can harm my students. And last but not least the air wick products offer me a chance to ensure my office despite the clean and sanitized space, still smells appealing and welcoming to students.
