My Project

As we strive to create an optimal learning environment for our young learners, I am reaching out to request the need of light filters in my Kindergarten classroom that will help reduce the bright fluorescent lighting.

Light filters serve a crucial role in enhancing the learning experience for our students, especially those who are visually sensitive.

These filters not only stimulate alertness, but also contribute to a calming atmosphere, fostering a conducive space for optimal learning.

This generous contribution will not only illuminate our classroom, but will also modify behavioral and motor responses, creating a more comfortable and engaging setting for all of the students. Your support will be greatly appreciated amongst myself and my students.
