My Project

Please help give my second graders the opportunity to have calm lighting in our classroom. Students love having the lights off but need some light to work. The lights and light filters will help give students that opportunity.

Students also love having flexible seating while reading or working on projects.

Having the floor seats will give students the option to sit somewhere other than their desk. Students LOVE to have options where options can be provided.

As a first year teacher in a rural district, I would love to have your support to make my classroom a more welcoming environment.
