My students need string lights and cordless lamps to enhance our learning environment by creating peaceful, comfortable lighting throughout our classroom.
We are a Lighthouse School for The Leader in Me, so I have a class full of inspirational leaders. They are learning and living out Stephen Covey's 8 Habits. They lead in an abundance of ways both in and out of the classroom.
My students come from diverse backgrounds.
Many live in government housing. School is the best place for them to find comfort, thrive, and grow.
They are mathematicians, scientists, readers, writers, artists, historians, inventors, and more. Through problem solving and real life learning experiences, they're learning to think critically, collaborate, communicate effectively and embrace creativity.
My Project
My goal is to create a cozy class setting to enhance learning.
Students spend the majority of their day at school, so I want it to be a place that brings comfort and relaxation.
This currently includes comfy seating, soft music, home-type decorations and keeping the florescent lights turned off because they are too bright. Recently a couple lamps broke and half of our string lights have burnt out. In addition, we have exhausted our supply of batteries and light bulbs.
This project will help us better illuminate our classroom and enhance our learning environment. We will be able to more effectively light our space for the rest of the year and beyond.
