In our classroom we currently have soft-white fluorescent lights and because we are windowless we are required to have our lights on throughout the day. It has been proven that these bulbs cause stress to the eyes, headaches, and anxiety which directly interrupts focus and learning. These covers will create a more calm classroom by lessening the glare from the overhead lights. We do a lot of reading in my class so it is is my hope that the covers will help to improve attention and give the students an even greater chance of being successful on a day to day basis.
