Calming 4th Grade Classroom

Help me give my students a classroom that supports their learning. The bright fluorescent lights are too stimulating for many students. These light covers will help create a calming space for them to work in.

My Project

I am working on creating a classroom that supports the growth of my students. The bright fluorescent lights are too stimulating for many students. The light covers I have picked will help create a classroom that is calming and just right for the students. The other items in my project are to help create a uniform looking room with colors, pocket charts, and decorations. I am working on creating a classroom that is Wisconsin themed. I would like to show Wisconsin facts throughout my classroom. The Maple Leaves backdrop will help me create a display in the classroom to show that the state tree is a Sugar Maple. Please consider donating to my 4th Grade Classroom.

Grades 3-5
