In our school, windows are hard to come by. Students spend most of their days in only fluorescent lighting. I have tried to alleviate the migraines and headaches by adding lamps in my classroom. This allows me to turn off half of the fluorescent lights in my room. Light filters will allow my students to have full and adequate lighting without the harshness of the fluorescence. My students will be able to focus easier and stay on task with proper lighting. Since many of my students do not have great homes, I try to create the most comfortable and “homey” atmosphere in my room. Please help my students feel comfortable and at home in school. We thank you in advance!
