A Clean Classroom

Help me give my students a clean classroom that supports their wellbeing daily!

My Project

On a daily basis, I either bring cleaning supplies from home, borrow from other classrooms, or request the custodian help with cleaning.

I would love to be able to have the resources needs in the classroom so that we are not required to rely on others and/or my own household!

The wet mop, broom, carpet cleaning supplies, and disinfectants on my list will allow this to happen!

Doing this will foster a sense of independence in my second graders by keeping them accountable for the little spills and messes that they cause from time to time. It will also give the custodian a little break when it comes to maintaining my classroom!
