My Project

This school year, help my students stay cool by helping us get fans for our classroom! Unfortunately, our school and classroom does not have any air conditioning or fans. This means that in the summer, the temperatures in the building and classroom can get pretty high!

With temperatures being in the upper 80s and 90s, it can be very hard to focus and learn in school.

In order to help my students not only focus but feel comfortable, we need to help circulate and cool down the air in the room.

Not only do we need to stay cool in the summer, but the winter months means the heat turns on and we are back to the high temps inside. I know my students and myself would appreciate the help staying cool and focused in school!
