The new sewing materials and supplies you helped fund have made a tremendous difference in both the quality of our instruction and the enthusiasm of our students.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new machine, their faces lit up. For many, it was their first time using a sewing machine. They were excited, curious, and slightly nervous—but that quickly turned into pride as they completed their quilt squares. One student said, \"I didn't think I could sew, but now I want to make something at home for my mom!\"","fullyFundedDate":1743347442586,"projectUrl":"project/culture-quilt/9216797/","projectTitle":"Culture Quilt","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Mignone","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9986842"},{"teacherId":9787963,"projectId":8850601,"letterContent":"This letter expresses gratitude for the opportunity to use a sewing machine in class to create a quilt. The experience has been valuable, and the sewing machine has significantly impacted the learning process.\r\nBefore using the machine, the idea of a quilting project may have seemed difficult. However, the machine allowed for quick and accurate piecing of fabric squares, streamlining the process. This increased speed and precision allowed for a focus on the creative aspects of the project, like selecting colors and patterns, instead of hand-sewing.\r\nLearning to use the sewing machine introduced a practical and rewarding skill, and confidence has been gained in operating the machine safely and effectively. This will be useful for future sewing and crafting.\r\nThe sewing machine's impact extends beyond just technical skills. It fostered a sense of accomplishment and pride in completing the quilt. Seeing the project come together smoothly has been satisfying.\r\nThank you again for providing this resource. It has enhanced the learning experience in this class and sparked a new interest in sewing and quilting.\r\nSincerely,","fullyFundedDate":1728870383579,"projectUrl":"project/sewing-class/8850601/","projectTitle":"Sewing Class","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lopes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-2_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9787963"},{"teacherId":9802247,"projectId":8876247,"letterContent":"Thank you for contributing to my art projects. All of the materials donated helped my students create projects that were not only successful in teaching them more about the process of creating art, but also lead to the creation of beautiful final pieces.\r\n One project I would like to mention is the animation cel project. Animation cels were used in animation before the introduction of computer software. Each cel was a movement in the film that was inked, painted, and then photographed. After photographed on a background in succession, the cels were put together to create the film. While it takes thousand of cels to create an animated movie, each cel is a work of art. \r\n The students were very excited to use the new materials. The materials and the process for each project was new and unique to them. \r\n Now that these projects have been completed, I can move ahead with more advanced projects based on the current lessons. I am looking forward to seeing what my students will create in the upcoming school year!","fullyFundedDate":1729604963049,"projectUrl":"project/cel-animationtoy-designcamera-obscura/8876247/","projectTitle":"Cel Animation/Toy Design/Camera Obscura","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Zographos","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9802247"},{"teacherId":6201533,"projectId":8866118,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our middle school hallway has become a vibrant, welcoming space that reflects the diverse cultures of our students and community! With the materials you helped fund, we were able to create a multicultural display case that celebrates heritage, identity, and the beauty of global traditions.\r\n\r\nWhen the students saw the new decor materials they were immediately excited and they couldn't wait to start creating and sharing pieces of their own backgrounds and learning about others'.\r\n\r\nIt's so special seeing our students take pride in representing their cultures and respectfully engaging with their classmates' traditions.\r\n\r\nThis project sparked rich conversations and a deeper sense of belonging in our school. The next step is to rotate themes each month, with student-led teams curating new displays focusing on different regions, holidays, or cultural contributions to history, art, and science. Your support helped us plant the seed—now our students are helping it grow.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us build a more inclusive and inspiring learning environment!","fullyFundedDate":1738944167323,"projectUrl":"project/multicultural-display-case/8866118/","projectTitle":"Multicultural Display Case","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Finelli","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6201533"},{"teacherId":9787068,"projectId":8848398,"letterContent":"The students that I have the pleasure of teaching art this school year, are very grateful for the donations of the light box and digital camera. These new resources have been utilized both in and outside the classroom. The students and I are very grateful.\r\n The light box has been a great assistance to many of my students. For insistence, using the light source ( from the light box) to draw an outfit over their figure drawing. Another lesson was tracing over printable images to add to an art assignment. These students were excited to be able to add images (by using the light box) when not having the self confidence to draw on their own.\r\n The digital camera comes in handy during photography club. Students that are without a cellphone and unable to take pictures. The donation of the digital camera, my students are able to explore and learn through the camera lens of the elements/principle of art and have the appreciation of photography. Students are able to learn how the shutter functions, composition of an image through the lens and much more. We are so very grateful of these two donations.
