Learning Under the Sea With Glare Free Light Covers

Help me give my students a glare free learning environment using fluorescent light covers.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Mara's classroom raised $200

This project is fully funded

My Project

My class room does not have any windows for natural light. We rely on fluorescent lights. Because of the glare from our lights, my students have a hard time focusing on learning. Most days I turn off the lights to help students feel more comfortable in class.

Using light covers with an ocean theme will make learning easier by allowing my students to focus.

Research shows that fluorescent lighting can cause headaches, reduce student performance and can affect eyesight. I want to give my students any advantage to be able to learn.
