Thanks to your support, we have created a warm and inviting conversation corner that has truly transformed our learning environment.\r\n\r\nThe impact of this cozy space has been remarkable. My students now eagerly gather in the corner for small-group conversations, practicing their French with newfound confidence and enthusiasm. The comfortable seating has created an atmosphere where students feel relaxed enough to take risks with their language skills, making mistakes and learning from them without hesitation. I've noticed quieter students becoming more willing to participate, and the entire class has embraced this space as their own special place to explore the French language and culture.\r\n\r\nBeyond language practice, this corner has become a cherished spot where students in my homeroom gather to relax, decompress and talk about their day.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has given my students more than just furniture; you've given them a space where learning feels natural, comfortable, and joyful. Thank you for investing in their education and for believing in the power of a welcoming classroom environment.","fullyFundedDate":1747429291184,"projectUrl":"project/cozy-coin-caf-franais-french-caf-cor/9162702/","projectTitle":"Cozy Coin Café Français (French Café Corner)","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Waterman","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9967626_orig.jpg?crop=2992,2992,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1741880526526","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9967626"},{"teacherId":9710873,"projectId":8967933,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for contributing to my project \"A More Calming Social Work Office\"!

Many of them have asked why I didn't do this sooner!\r\n\r\nI have used everything provided in this project from the mental health posters, to the rug, and especially the amazing fidgets! Additionally, the two new comfy chairs allow me to host a total of 4 students for group sessions in my office. Before this, hosting group sessions was only possible when a conference room was available.
