My Project

Every time I move into a new classroom, one of the first things I do is set up some good lighting. Lighting makes such a big difference in the setting of a room. It helps it to feel more calm and focused which enables everyone to prioritize learning over drama or distractions. I am requesting a floor lamp, string lighting, and ceiling clips to be able to hang the lights around the perimeter of the room. Learners appreciate the effort that goes into this task and to be able to turn the harsh overhead lights off.
