My Project

We're already starting off the year with some great resources obtained from generous donors through donors choose. A few more items came to mind that will make my classroom vision complete. Fluorescent light covers can make the environment more comfortable by reducing glare and eyestrain. Harsh fluorescent lighting can make it hard for kids to focus, but light covers can soften the light. In addition, light covers can help kids feel more relaxed and reduce anxiety by creating the illusion of a skylight or open sky. The trampoline will be used for those who need to exert all that extra energy and aggression in order to calm down and focus throughout the day. Laminating pouches will be used for all student game cards to protect for years of use.
