Before installing them, the room felt very much like a bleak and harsh space. Now, with the gentle glow of the various lights, the classroom has a far more tranquil and welcoming atmosphere.\r\n\r\nMy students have especially enjoyed the jellyfish tank—the calm, rhythmic movement has been relaxing for them to watch. The desktop water fountain has also been a wonderful addition. While the soothing sound was a little too subtle for the classroom, it is absolutely perfect in my office. Throughout the day, I have students who come in to visit, work on assignments, or take assessments, and the gentle flow of the water has created a peaceful environment for them.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has allowed me to create a calming, supportive space for my students. I even have students who are not in my classes asking if they can work in the room because of how inviting it feels. Your kindness has truly made a difference in our school community, and I am deeply grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1757683109864,"projectUrl":"project/a-peaceful-place-to-learn-and-grow/9518682/","projectTitle":"A Peaceful Place to Learn and Grow","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ginsberg","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10102049"},{"teacherId":9239608,"projectId":8807255,"letterContent":"I wanted to thank you for your donation to my project \"Whiteboards for Math\".
