My Project

I plan to use the light covers to help with the harsh lighting from the fluorescent lights in the classroom. This will help with focusing and giving students a calm classroom. I plan to use the storage boxes to keep students' supplies organized so that we all know where everything is and it is easy to it. For the zipper pouches, I would like to use them for students to hang on the back of their chairs for their journals and headphones for easy access. I feel that these materials will help my kindergarten class be even more successful!
