Help me give my students a comfortable set up in a new room with ambient lighting & flexible seating options!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cichy's classroom raised $175
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My students really enjoy learning in a relaxing environment. This allows them to focus away from the harsh lighting and not focus on their own discomforts and troubles so they can maintain great successes! With the upcoming school year, we are having to move classrooms, which means a move away from the ambient lights & flexible seating.
With this move, we need to refresh the ambient lighting & flexible seating.
With the chair, we are setting up a flexible seating center as much of the seating that I have will not currently work in there so someone else can enjoy it! With the new room, we would like to set up new string lights- this helps to avoid the harsh overhead lights. With the use of so much technology and the eye strain that this can generate, have softer lights is very helpful and loved by many students.
Please help us in continuing with the classroom environment that has already helped so many students!
More than half of students from low‑income households
