My Project

We have no windows in any of our classrooms, so the days are dreary. The only light is from the harsh, overhead fluorescent lights. With no natural light, we feel tired and it seems so dull. Headaches and eye strain are frequent from the fluorescent overhead lights.

I want to brighten up my classroom and make it feel comfortable and cheery.

Hopefully, I can turn off the harsh fluorescent lighting at times and bring in some more calming light sources. Having lamps and light sources other than overhead lights would totally transform the classroom environment.
