Lighting a Love of Learning

Help me give my students alternative lighting for my reading intervention program! The cordless table lamps will be a great addition to each of my students tables!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Burton's classroom raised $350

My Project

Lighting a Love of Learning will give my students the opportunity to have that sense of belonging and feel safe and cozy while they are learning. My plan is to implement alternative lighting options for my students to enjoy in the classroom. Because of the nature of my reading intervention program and their various levels, many of my students believe that reading is a chore. It is already a frustrating task for them. With Lighting a Love of Learning, my hope is that we will get my students excited about learning the fundamentals of reading through a safe and inviting environment.
