Ms. Angelique Bafford's classroom raised $396

Alternative, Calming Classroom Lighting

Help me give my students different lighting. The lights in our classroom can either all be turned on or all be turned off. By providing other ways to light our classroom, I can create a more calming environment.

My Project

In my classroom, the lights can either all be turned on or all be turned off. When the lights are off, it is too dark for the children to work.

I want to create a more calming environment for my students through the use of light covers, lamps, and LED strip lights.

This way, we do not have to have all of the lights on at once. I can pick and choose which lights to have on depending on what we are doing. This will help the students be able to concentrate more easily and keep themselves calmer and ready to learn.
