My classroom is a fun, inspiring place where students receive all their instruction in Spanish. There are 2 groups of students and 2 teachers. One group receives their instruction in Spanish with me, while the other group receives instruction in English with my partner. The next day we switch groups. Our room is not air conditioned, and during the months of August-October and March-June it gets dangerously hot. I have 2 smaller fans, but they are not enough to cool our room, and they are very loud. The heat impedes our learning and makes the students (and myself) so tired and cranky. This fan will cool off our room quietly, and allow us to continue learning and having fun.
