It's not just about keeping the space clean, but it's also encouraged a sense of responsibility among the students. By alternating the task of vacuuming and plugging in the charger, they've been able to take ownership of their environment in a way that makes them feel accountable for its upkeep.\r\n\r\nThis routine has helped instill a sense of pride in the classroom, and it's great to see how the students are stepping up to the challenge. They're learning valuable daily living skills, like how to maintain cleanliness, take care of tools, and organize their space—skills that will be useful beyond the classroom. There's something empowering about knowing that they play a role in keeping the room tidy and that their contributions are recognized.\r\n\r\nIt's also been amazing to see them take turns with the vacuuming job and work as a team to make sure the space stays neat. Not only does it keep the classroom in good shape, but it's also a great way to build teamwork and a sense of community within the group.\r\n\r\nOverall, it's more than just a vacuum—it's a tool for developing life skills, fostering responsibility, and contributing to a positive classroom culture. The impact has been incredibly rewarding, both for cleanliness and for the personal growth of the students.","fullyFundedDate":1731928826326,"projectUrl":"project/keep-a-clean-and-crumb-free-classroom/8842242/","projectTitle":"Keep A Clean and Crumb Free Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Davis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9568978_orig.png?crop=500,500,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1718312923860","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mskristindavis"},{"teacherId":8379432,"projectId":7132887,"letterContent":"The donated platform riser set has really enhanced our student performances in our school multipurpose room.
