My Project

Classroom lighting can be so harsh on the eyes of scholars. Some students will say they have a headache. Students are in their classroom for majority of their day. The use of these light covers will help dim the lighting in the room and give a more calming atmosphere. The floor lamp will help us give a more homey feeling when they are here at school.

Being comfortable in their classroom is a huge plus!

My goal is for all students to feel calm and ready to learn when they come into the classroom. These will help us in our classroom and it will help us in the future! Scholars will be able to work hard on their work and they will feel comfortable while doing so!
