Light Up the Room! Calm Classroom Lighting

Help me give my students fun and comfortable lighting for our classroom environment!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Boone's classroom raised $374

This project is fully funded

My Project

Taking past students recommendations for the classroom helps me understand what makes students most comfortable in the room. One of the most common complaints in the class were the lights!

The common fluorescent lighting in the classroom is harsh and can even give some students headaches, making it hard to learn in the class.

Giving students these ambient lighting options will give a comfortable environment for the students to feel welcomed and ready to learn!

I have already seen the calming effects of lower lighting in the classroom, and I am excited to have enough lighting fixtures to make this the norm in our class!
