Help me give my students light covers in order to block out some of the translucent lighting within the classroom.

My Students

Teaching is not a job or a career for me. Teaching is my passion. My students teach me new things on a daily basis. Each and every student deserves the very best and with your help I can give them so much more to assist them in achieving their very best.

My students are your average 5th graders.

They are mostly from middle-class families. They range from a variety of ability groups.

My students are extremely grateful for everything that is given to them, and they will use these resources to assist them in their success. The students in my class are amazing, sweet, and kind. They amaze me on a daily basis with their eagerness to learn and grow. They are hardworking, motivated, and eager to learn.

My Project

There is no easy way to achieve the perfect lighting within my class. We have a very old projector that is difficult to see. However, if we turn off all of the lights then the students can't see to write or read what is in front of them.

Our class is requesting multiple sets of light covers to place on the lights within our class.

These light covers will allow us to have just enough light to read and write while making it easy to see what is being projected on the board.

These resources will assist my students with all different learning styles and needs.
