My Project

I don't know about you, but something about learning under a canopy of trees really makes my heart sing -- certainly a lot more than learning under the glare of fluorescent lighting!

These forest-themed fluorescent light covers look up into a beautiful canopy of trees, which would be such a lovely way to bring nature into our classroom.

Fluorescent light covers support focus and attention as well as helping students who may be impacted my neurological conditions made worse by florescent lighting. Plus, they fit the forest theme of our classroom perfectly!
