It gave them confidence, stress reduction, Social Emotional Skills, Responsibility, and Independence. When the students first saw that they were going to crochet, they were excited and kept asking when they were going to begin. Students were satisfied with the end product.\r\nSome students started an after school Crocheting Club in their Think Together after school class. Students had better peer relationships as students collaborated and mentored each other. I had to tell some students they couldn't crotchet during Math and/or Language Arts. They tried to excuse it by saying it was calming to them. \r\nAt the end of it all, students were satisfied with the end product. It encouraged ownership over materials and projects. They made face masks, flowers for pens, headbands, etc., and they will be working on a duck next.","fullyFundedDate":1738168143011,"projectUrl":"project/social-emotional-crocheting/8897174/","projectTitle":"Social Emotional Crocheting","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Alcala","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7760113"},{"teacherId":8686084,"projectId":8988203,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of the life-size human torso model to our classroom!

It helped us truly understand how the body works—from how the lungs help us breathe to how the heart pumps blood throughout our body. Being able to take apart and examine each part made learning more hands-on, engaging, and fun. It brought our science lessons to life in a way that textbooks alone never could.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has inspired curiosity and excitement in our classroom.

Post Covid most students are silent throughout the school day during class. Very few offer their opinions or even raise their hands to respond. They are extremely guarded and introverted.\r\n\r\nThese donated white boards have allowed all to share their thoughts via the use of the white board. I ask open ended questions and all will respond with a white board. It has lowered their stress and anxiety since they feel less pressure to be correct.\r\n\r\nLastly, the social awareness of my 6th graders is enormous. That all magnify every little interaction and action. They never want to look a certain way to their peers and this stifles their creativity and voice.
