With these funds I will...

purchase 2 tower fans. My classroom gets extremely hot. We have already been having one of the hottest years here in a while and on top of that my classroom gets no breeze. Our classroom is also right next to the road so on really hot days you can feel the heat radiating of the asphalt on the street. The morning suns shines directly on us as well, so we are hot from the start of the day! Many times it feels 5-10 degrees hotter once you step in to the classroom. 

My classroom is home to 21 Kindergarten students, and in the afternoon during our RTI block 18 different come to receive instruction in the classroom. It is hard to expect them to be focused when their faces have beads of sweat dripping off of them. Cooler conditions for our classroom would have a HUGE impact on their learning and on my teaching as well. 

The tower fans that I would like to purchase will not only provide cool air but are also quiet. I have had to teach with loud fans before and while they provide some relief, it leaves me having to speak loudly for the students to hear me. 

Each fan is about $65.
