My Project

I have a wonderful group of third graders who are eager to learn. I want them to have a clean, organized classroom where they feel safe and welcomed. Having wipes readily available in a classroom would help to maintain a clean and sanitary environment, which is crucial for the health and well-being of children. A clean classroom environment would also minimize distractions caused by clutter and dirt, allowing my students to focus better on their studies.

A clean classroom promotes positive habits and responsibility in children.

When they see teachers and classmates regularly cleaning and taking care of their surroundings, they are more likely to develop respect for shared spaces. It fosters an understanding of hygiene and personal responsibility, which can extend beyond the classroom into their homes and communities. In a clutter-free, organized space, my students will feel calm and ready to learn.
