You don't know how much it means to my students for them to be able to sit on a clean rug and be up closer to their learning. \r\n\r\nWhen we first got the vacuum, we were in the middle of an SEL lesson and we get this amazing delivery. The students were so excited that they wanted for me to quickly open the box. They were looking at the pieces, trying to figure out which piece went first and then we started to look at the manual using the projection camera and we went through the manual to see and learn about how to use it, cleaning it and maintaining it. After coming up with rules to use the vacuum, the class found a great space to keep the vacuum and we have been so happy ever since.\r\n\r\nSince we have received our classroom vacuum, the students are enjoying doing their learning on the carpet. They are also using the vacuum to maintain the cleanliness of the carpet as part of our classroom jobs. The students are enthusiastic to find out who will have the responsibility of making sure our classroom carpet is clean at the end of the day and making sure that it is plugged and charged every morning for its use at the end our our learning day.","fullyFundedDate":1772550272786,"projectUrl":"project/no-strings-attached-a-cordless-clean-cl/9988656/","projectTitle":"No Strings Attached: A Cordless Clean Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Estefani","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5467706_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755732686771","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/teach2kids"},{"teacherId":10011733,"projectId":9311138,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of my DonorsChoose project!
