My Project

Hello. We are 42 Reliable Rams from HAE. We are a 4/5 combo class in California. We have 24 students in our classroom.

We would like some classroom light covers that help reduce our stress and anxiety.

We use these light covers to also help us focus and they keep us engaged and motivated when we are working. The classroom is set up with flexible seating and a calm corner, and a waterfall fountain would add to us feeling more comfortable and confident in the classroom. Thank you for your time and consideration. It is greatly appreciated. From, 42 Reliable Rams
