In their article "Are Your Children in Times Square? Moving from Sensory Overload to Sensory Engagement," which forms the basis for the newest Exchange Out of the Box Training Kit by the same name, Sandra Duncan and Michelle Salcedo offer this tip:

"Within each classroom, there are many different areas for children to enjoy, such as the science, writing, blocks, home living, and library centers.  Each center has a distinctive mood, which is created by the level of activity and physical energy children expend in the area.  The library or quiet center is a tranquil space requiring not only warm, soft, and textured elements (e.g., pillows and cushions) but also needs appropriate lighting to reflect the center’s mood.  The home living area is filled with the ­clatter of children’s dramatic and active play experiences; the home living area requires lighting that is bold and vibrant.  The writing center’s mood is focused.  Because children are busily experimenting with writing tools and concentrating on the work at hand, this center needs focused lighting.  It is important that teachers align the learning center’s mood with the most ­suitable type of lighting."
