Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students often complain about the lighting in the school building. I mean, I can't blame them- who likes fluorescent lights? The hurt our eyes, aren't flattering, and make us feel like we're in an office building. I want to change things up and make sure they have a comfortable learning environment and I want my classroom to feel like a second home!

This project is for table lamps,led lights, floor lamps and light covers to create an ambiance in my classroom that is warm and inviting for students!

The more comfortable they are, the more focused they will be and the more learning can take place in my room. I want my classroom to be a fun, warm, and inviting place for teenagers to learn!
