My Project

There are no windows in my classroom. My students and myself have been struggling with not having any natural light in our classroom. With winter approaching, and the "winter blues" looming ahead, I would love to have some Vitamin D Light Therapy Lamps in my classroom to help my students and myself stay engaged. My classroom is decorated as much as possible to try and brighten up the space, but the lack of natural light from windows is still taking its toll on my students. I have 4th block planning, so I don't get to see the outside world until the very end of the day anyways. Having these lamps in my room will surely help myself and my students to feel more energized and engaged throughout the day.
