My Project
My students are a group of energetic first graders who are eager to learn and engage with one another. The harsh fluorescent over head lights do not foster a calming and engaging environment.
These lights will help provide an alternative to our overhead lights, fostering a more inviting and comfortable learning environment.
Small lamps placed throughout the room will provide more intimate learning spaces for my students. The string lights will be hung from the ceiling to provide a soft glow to lighten the room enough to see one another an our work without the harsh lights. When students are more comfortable and calm in their learning space, they are more productive and successful in their education.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
