My Project

At our school, classrooms only get vacuumed and spot-mopped once a week. A simple craft activity that involves cutting can end with hundreds of little pieces of paper on the carpet. It is important to keep and maintain a clean and tidy classroom environment, especially during this time.

The Roomba vacuum cleaner will help keep our classroom clean and minimize the spread of germs on a daily basis.

It also reduces allergy and asthma triggers. I will be able to run it after school on the days that our custodial staff is not scheduled to vacuum the room. We are all expected to do so much, so it will be nice to have an iRobot help us out. The most important benefit of a clean classroom is the fact that it maximizes the learning experience of the students. This cleaning tool will help teach our students how we can keep our learning environment clean and safe.
