Everyone was so pleased with the new items once we sat down and shut off the light we had been used to using. \r\n\r\nOur class enjoyed the modified lighting in the classroom. Instead of stark, fluorescent, bright lights, we could complete our lessons in a relaxed atmosphere. The light covers were pictures of clouds, and it created a calming vibe in the room as soon as we entered, the two standing lights were flexible so the teacher could move them around and modify them as the season changed and the outside light in our room differed. Based on the software we used, our reading scores increased.
