My Project

Please help my little first-grade students in my classroom SHINE BRIGHT with my newest project. I want to add some inspirational neon light-up signs to inspire my students to strive to do their best. At the same time, the light-up signs will brighten up the dull classroom walls. I’m hoping the inspirational signs will provide my students with visual reminders of what they should strive for on the daily. This project will surely make my class SHINE BRIGHT! Please help bring this project to life for my little first-grade students!
