My Project

My student's room needs a major spruce up. Despite many efforts, our bland demountable building from the 1960's looks more like an institution than a Preschool classroom. Since we cannot replace the buzzing fluorescent lights, we want to get colored lamps. Plus, some jazzy lighting for a more softer hue. We also want to find a way cover our hard plastic ripped blinds and scratched plexi-glass windows. We want to add curtains and sparkles! There is only so much we do by ourselves. My students come from lower income areas and we, as teachers, try to make school as positive as we can. So, having a bright happy place will help enhance our student's learning. We thank you for any help in not only brightening our room, but brightening our day and learning!
