Students were enthusiastic and excited to try a new art form, embroidery. Many students had seen the art form in their homes and on their clothing but had never tried it before. The project was challenging and required a lot of patience as each stitch needed to be done with care and precision, it is not an art form that can be rushed or mistakes easily covered up. The students were very excited to choose their specific colors and I was so grateful to have all the variety of colors to choose from. They did not have to limit their ideas due to a lack of colors and choices thanks to this campaign. We also had plenty of needles as you can imagine small needles went missing here and there. Students could always get a new one and use various tools to work with the small needled and thread especially the threader tool was a hit for those having trouble threading the embroidery floss into the needs. We truly appreciate your support and are so grateful to have people like you in our corner!","fullyFundedDate":1701117479713,"projectUrl":"project/embroidery-art/7688926/","projectTitle":"Embroidery Art","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Gallegos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4665701_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1512316361221","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4665701"},{"teacherId":7569995,"projectId":9005949,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generosity, our high school art students have been able to print and share their own zines!

One of the first activities we did was creating emotion wheels, where students used colors and imagery to express different feelings and discuss coping strategies. The moment they saw the materials—things like the chair cushions for meditation, the fidget toys, and classroom games, they were excited and eager to dive in. \r\n\r\nMoving forward, we're integrating these tools into our daily routines, using mindfulness drawing exercises and guided reflection prompts to help students regulate emotions and build resilience. Currently, we're working on personal affirmation collages, where students choose words and images that represent their strengths and goals. This project fosters self-confidence and encourages them to view challenges as opportunities for growth. Thanks to these resources, my students are developing essential social-emotional skills that will support them far beyond the classroom.
