My Project

I work with students grades K-6 with behavioral challenges. These materials will be used to help create a calm, safe environment. The light covers will be used directly to improve our classroom environment. I work with students with various disabilities, and many are sensitive to florescent lighting. All of my students have behavioral challenges, and lighting can play a big role in their mindset. I want to create a classroom that students are happy to be in. These materials will help my students to get to know their emotions better, and improve their ability to be successful.
