My Project

I would love to bring alternative lighting options to our classroom by covering our fluorescent light fixtures and using desk lamps to create a more inviting and productive learning environment to my students who have a hard time focusing in the traditional classroom.

By introducing softer lighting, I can foster a space that promotes focus, reduces stress, and enhances the overall educational experience for my students.

I would also love to add to our classrooms resources for Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) through the use of new books and games for our classroom. These resources are essential in helping my students develop critical skills such as empathy, self-awareness, and effective communication. By incorporating SEL materials into our daily activities, I can create a more supportive and inclusive classroom environment where every student feels valued and understood.
