Because of you, our classroom has been transformed into a more welcoming and comfortable space with cozy chairs, a cute rug, and thoughtful items that truly make a difference in my students' day. These additions go far beyond décor—they show our students that they are cared for and that their comfort and well-being matter.\r\n\r\nThe moment my students walked in and saw the new setup, their eyes absolutely lit up. There were smiles, gasps, and so much excitement as they explored the space and picked their favorite spots. It was such a joy to witness how something as simple as a comfy chair or a soft rug could instantly make them feel happy, calm, and valued. Their enthusiasm reminded me how powerful a warm learning environment can be, especially for middle schoolers.\r\n\r\nThanks to you, my students now have a safe space where they can take a break—whether they need a moment to reset mentally or a comfortable place to regroup during work time. This calming area has already helped them refocus, self-regulate, and feel more at ease in the classroom. Your kindness has had a meaningful impact on their daily experience, and I am deeply grateful for your support in helping create a classroom where students feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.","fullyFundedDate":1758828715475,"projectUrl":"project/a-quiet-corner-to-reflect-work-and-bre/9434067/","projectTitle":"A quiet corner to reflect, work, and breathe.","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. de Reuver","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10064161"},{"teacherId":8830352,"projectId":8792786,"letterContent":"Thank you for giving this opportunity to my students in making them feel like true Biologists!
