Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

My Project

Our classroom is filled with students who are talkative and insightful. They bring great ideas to classroom discussion and are eager to learn. Many of my students have a passion for art and reading. Unfortunately our classroom is located in a spot that has limited natural light. We only have one window in our classroom that is shaded by trees. Due to the lack of natural lighting, our classroom is lit primarily through fluorescent lights. Studies show that fluorescent lights can contribute to fatigue in students and health issues such as migraines. This will limit students' ability to maximize their learning.

Providing soft lighting to students will allow students to maximize their learning and reach their full potential.

Your contribution will not only soften the lighting in our windowless room but also create a more inviting and comfortable setting for both students and teacher.

This change will foster a more positive learning environment. It will help create a space that is more relaxing and allow student a stronger opportunity to reach their goals.
