My Project

I work with students with a variety of social and emotional needs. Many of the students have learned that they can manage their emotions by cleaning the classroom and various parts of the school.

Our current vacuum is a stick vacuum, bought for light use.

It can't keep up with the use needed for the student's needs/ We need a better quality classroom vacuum to effectively do the job of cleaning the floor while helping the students manage their emotions. In addition to vacuuming, we have a mop, carpet shampooer, and wipes to clean the hard surfaces in the classroom.
