We'll Leave The Light On For You :)

I Love the lamps I have placed here and there all around my classroom.  They cut down on the florescent glare and make my classroom feel more like home.

My favorite lamp!
The color wheel behind it was
made from paint sample cards.

My students noticed the difference immediately.  One little boy walked into the classroom the day I put up 5 lamps and said, "It feels like my house in here."  I couldn't have said it better.

So this summer, stop by a few garage sales and see if you can pick up a few cute lamps for your classroom.  I usually pay about $2 each.  I have even had parents donate small lamps.  And it's fun to turn on the lamps each morning and turn them off at the end of the day.  :)
