My Project

We have desks that do not have room inside for them to keep their belongings organized. They have no room for things like pencils or highlighters and need a place to put them where they won't get lost inside of the black hole their desks can be!

Our classroom also has no windows to allow for natural light to be let in thus leaving us with only having the harsh ceiling lights.

These lights are often way too bright and overstimulating for students. We could benefit from having those ligths filtered with light covers and softer lighting options.

With more organization and a calmer lighting situation in our classroom the students!

Grades 3-5
