The first time we plugged them in and turned them on, the entire classroom immediately felt brighter and more welcoming. Several students commented on how much easier it was to focus on their reading and writing with the extra light, and many of them quickly started using the USB ports to charge their devices so they could stay engaged without worrying about low batteries.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was during our independent reading time. A few students gathered around a lamp at their table, and one of them said, \"It feels like we're in our own little study space.\" That small change made them feel more comfortable and motivated, which is exactly what I had hoped for when writing this project.\r\n\r\nWe are now using the lamps daily during group work and independent projects. They've helped create flexible, student-centered spaces where everyone has the tools they need to succeed. Looking ahead, my students are beginning a research project that will require both reading and writing on their devices. With the lamps in place, they can stay organized, charged, and focused as they dive into their topics.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has not only brightened our classroom, it has lit up my students' excitement for learning.
