We are using the air purifier every day in our classroom, and it has made such a wonderful difference! With so many students learning and working together in one space, having cleaner air helps create a more comfortable learning environment for everyone. The purifier runs throughout the school day! The extra filters will also allow us to continue using it consistently throughout the year.\r\n\r\nMy students were excited to see the new air purifier in our classroom! We talked about how it works and why clean air is important, and they were especially interested in seeing the purifier running and learning about what it does.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to continue building a positive, healthy, and welcoming classroom environment where students can focus on learning and growing. We are continuing with our current lessons and hands-on activities, encouraging students to work together, ask questions, and take pride in their classroom. The air purifier has become a small but meaningful part of our daily routine, and we are grateful to have a resource that helps make our classroom a more comfortable place to learn each day.
