A Softer Approach for Special Education

Funded Aug 28, 2020

Thank you all so very, very much for the wonderful light-filtering covers! The nifty blue light filter has created a calmer, softer, and more welcoming environment in our classroom. Students are able to read textbooks, chapter books, and computer screens with much less stress to their eyesight. They have told me that the subtle blue light is much more calming and relaxing than the harsh fluorescent light we had previously. The light filters create a positive, secure, and calm space for the class.

When my students first entered the classroom, they were amazed by the difference in the light quality. All of their remarks were positive and I heard over and over how much better it is to read and concentrate in a room that has filtered light. They adapted to it quickly; I have even noticed a marked difference in their attitudes! It is much, much easier to calm down in my classroom that it was previously. We're so thankful the harsh light is history!

Since it is December and the last two weeks before Winter Break, my class will be reading 'Santa Claus, Inc.' and discussing main idea, details, and cause/effect. They always look forward to reading in my room and I know this book selection will be so much fun for them. Thank you again for helping me create a positive learning environment within my classroom. It was a subtle change, but it made a WORLD of difference!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Marks
