My Project

Every student wants to be comfortable in the classroom.

The fluorescent lights are so bright and many of the inclusion students complain about how bright it is.

I agree with them! I currently have a few lamps around the room and do not turn on all of the lights. These covers will enable us to turn on all of the lights and not have them be so bright. They will also add a bit of color to the room as well.

I strive to make all of my students comfortable so they can learn better.
