My Project

This upcoming school year, I have been moved to a classroom that is lacking natural light. Unfortunately, it also doesn't have the ability to turn half the lights on light my previous classroom. This project was created with items to help light up our classroom with less harsh lighting options. Florescent lights are not good for students health and they tend to get headaches from the lights.

Students are able to concentrate better in a more naturally lit classroom.

Many times my students ask me to turn down the lights but I won't have that option this school year. I am asking for one lamp, light strips, and having cloud lights to help brighten up our classroom.

Also in this project is cork board panels. This item will be use to create a bulletin board on a wall of the classroom that is unusable at the moment because it is broken peg board. This material will allow me to create a bulletin board to display important information for my students.
