Warmth And Calm

Help me give my students access to calming classroom resources through light covers and an oil diffuser.

My Project

The fluorescent light covers will create a warm, tranquil atmosphere in our small, tightly packed classroom. The essential oil diffuser will also add a sense of calm, well-being, and warmth.

My students are already immersed in a loving and caring environment, but these resources will greatly add to it.

I aim to transform my small classroom (packed with 33 scholars) into a warm, caring, and productive learning oasis. Fluorescent lights are the antithesis of calm and serene. They buzz and often burn out. The light covers help to create the illusion of the outdoors, inside.
