Calm Classroom Ambience

Help me give my students Fluorescent Light Magnetic Filters and a BLUEYE Floor Lamp.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rivera's classroom raised $200

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

The fluorescent lighting in my classroom is not ideal for learning. Our overhead lights are so bright that it is unnatural. I would like to "dim" my classroom by adding the fluorescent light covers on our overhead lights and provide a lamp that can light up to a calming blue or green. This will provide a vibe that is calming and good.

Providing a calm vibe in a classroom is as vital as breathing.

If the physical environment is not right for learning then learning will not occur. Please help me provide a nice, calm, and inviting ambience, conducive for learning in my classroom. Thank you.
