Soften Up Our Classroom Lights

Please help me give my students hanging lights to create a calm, sensory-inclusive learning environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cassie's classroom raised $193

My Project

Please help turn our 2nd-grade classroom into a comfortable and cozy learning space where all students can feel focused and refreshed!

These materials will transform our classroom into a space where everyone can learn, grow, and work comfortably toward reaching their fullest potential.

These LED string lights will help soften the mood, support students with unique sensory needs, and thrive when no bright lights exist. Replugging the lights in using remote-controlled outlets will ensure safety when turning the lights on and off and possibly have the students participate in that process.
