As a second-year FCS teacher, I was so excited to get into e-textiles with my eighth graders - but we also have to cover money management, introduction to culinary, and get the students SafeSitter certified (all in nine weeks)! They kept reminding me that we had this project to work on, and they were so motivated to get to it that they breezed through the other units so that they could spend time creating their felted stuffies!\r\n\r\nWe worked through an introduction to hand sewing as a part of our mental health unit. They learned that sitting and focusing on creating with their hands is a great way to decompress and destress. We created little books that show 15 different embroidery stitches. We then made the fidget mazes, felt squares that have a marble in them. The students created a path for the marbles to move through - this was included in the materials you purchased for our room.\r\n\r\nFinally, we used the e-textiles kits you purchased for us and finished the unit by creating an e-textile. The students got to pick from more than 40 different felted designs, with the caveat that they had to make sure that some part of it lit up. We practiced making a circuit, and the students had to figure out how to make their e-textile with the light on the inside and the battery on the outside - all while ensuring that the conductive thread didn't cross and short out the connection. The students took this project further than I could have imagined. They were so focused. Most days, they had their projects out and were working on them before the bell even rang for class to start!","fullyFundedDate":1733344131901,"projectUrl":"project/technology-and-textiles-working-together/8777906/","projectTitle":"Technology and Textiles Working Together!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Puckett","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9747855"},{"teacherId":9753976,"projectId":8793123,"letterContent":"Thank you for purchasing the graphing calculators, dry erase markers, and personal white boards. My students are using both of these items on a daily basis to practice mathematical skills and concepts. Without your generous donation, many of my students living in rural Montana would not be able to afford these graphing calculators, so thank you again. This technology allows my students to focus more on the concepts of math that we are learning instead of worrying about computational errors that could occur. Students are excited to learn how to use the graphing calculators' abilities to aid them in problem solving as well as displaying the results in an easy to read and understand format. My eighth grade class is really enjoying the graphing function instead of them having to draw and plot data points on a graph by hand with pencil and graph paper.
