With the materials funded through this project, students will be able to dye yarn using plant-based dyes inspired by historical practices from cultures around the world. These experiences help students connect historical concepts to real-world processes while encouraging creativity, curiosity, and problem-solving.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials for this project arrived, my students were incredibly excited watching me unbox them in the classroom. Many were disappointed when I explained that the weaving and dyeing project was planned for next school year because they immediately wanted to begin experimenting with the materials. Because of their enthusiasm, I decided to do a small tutorial and demonstration during study hall periods so students could preview the process while also allowing myself time to practice and prepare for next year's lessons. Students were highly engaged throughout the demonstrations, asking thoughtful questions about how natural dyes work, how different plants create colors, and how textiles were historically produced. It became one of my favorite memories with this class this school year because of how curious, collaborative, and genuinely excited students were about learning.\r\n\r\nThe natural dyeing process also provides opportunities for collaboration and inquiry-based learning as students experiment with materials, observe results, and discuss how geography, trade, and natural resources influenced textile production throughout history. These hands-on experiences make historical learning more engaging and accessible for a wide range of learners, including English learners who benefit from visual and experiential learning opportunities.\r\n\r\nI am incredibly excited to fully implement this project in the upcoming school year and continue learning alongside my students as we explore historical dyeing practices, textile production, and traditional cultural craftsmanship from around the world. Thank you for helping make these meaningful and memorable learning experiences possible for our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1778175970243,"projectUrl":"project/coloring-history-natural-dyes-for-hands/10235258/","projectTitle":"Coloring History: Natural Dyes for Hands-On Learning","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Priebe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7151443_orig.png?crop=755,755,x253,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1618934202374","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7151443"},{"teacherId":7151443,"projectId":10234990,"letterContent":"This project has already generated excitement and curiosity among students about hands-on historical learning. After being introduced to weaving techniques and demonstrations of hand-dyed yarn and handmade looms during study hall periods, students became highly engaged and eager to participate in future weaving projects connected to our World History curriculum.\r\nWith the weaving tools funded through this project, students will be able to fully participate in creating textiles inspired by historical traditions from cultures around the world. These materials allow students to move beyond simply reading about history and instead experience the craftsmanship, creativity, and problem-solving involved in historical textile production. Students will use shuttle sticks, beaters, and tapestry needles to learn authentic weaving techniques while exploring the cultural and economic importance of textiles throughout history.\r\nThe project also supports collaboration and communication as students work together, share techniques, and discuss the historical significance of their work. Because the projects are highly visual and hands-on, they provide meaningful opportunities for English learners and students with different learning styles to actively engage with the curriculum and demonstrate understanding.\r\nOne of the most exciting outcomes of this project has been student enthusiasm. Several current students have already expressed interest in continuing weaving projects even after leaving 7th grade and have asked about the possibility of an after-school weaving club. Their excitement demonstrates how powerful hands-on, creative learning experiences can be in building engagement and connection to school.\r\nThank you for helping bring these meaningful learning experiences to our classroom. Your generosity is helping students experience history through creativity, collaboration, and hands-on exploration.","fullyFundedDate":1778175605308,"projectUrl":"project/weaving-stories-of-the-past-one-thread/10234990/","projectTitle":"Weaving Stories of the Past, One Thread at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Priebe","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7151443_orig.png?crop=755,755,x253,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1618934202374","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7151443"},{"teacherId":7151443,"projectId":10178422,"letterContent":"Our middle school LGBTQ+ club began as a simple safe space where students could spend time together during lunch, but thanks to your support, it has grown into something even more meaningful. This project has given students opportunities not only to connect with one another, but also to create positive change in the broader community.\r\n\r\nUsing the materials funded through this project, students hosted a Rainbow Café and assembled care packages for LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness. The care package project was especially meaningful for students. Many students shared how important it felt to be able to help others who may be experiencing challenges or isolation.\r\n\r\nAlthough we ran out of time to begin the button-making portion of the project this school year, students are already excited to continue the project next year using the button maker and supplies funded through this donation. The materials will continue to support creativity, self-expression, and community-building long after this school year ends.\r\n\r\nFor many middle school students, simply having a space where they feel accepted and valued can make an enormous difference. This project went one step further by helping students see themselves as leaders, creators, and compassionate community members whose actions can positively impact others.\r\n\r\nMany of our students come from low-income backgrounds and may not always have opportunities like these available to them. Your generosity helped provide experiences centered around belonging, creativity, empathy, and service. It also sent a powerful message to students that there are people beyond our school community who care deeply about them and the work they are doing.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping make this project possible.

Using materials funded through this project, students recently completed a hands-on investigation into Gutenberg's printing press and the spread of ideas during the Renaissance. Students worked collaboratively to build functioning models of printing presses and created movable type stamps using the clay provided through this project. Students then used paint brushes to apply ink and test their designs, helping them better understand how innovations in printing transformed communication and the spread of knowledge.\r\n\r\nThe project allowed students to move beyond simply reading about historical innovations and instead experience the creativity, experimentation, and problem-solving involved in historical technologies firsthand. Students were highly engaged throughout the activity and demonstrated strong collaboration and historical thinking skills as they refined and tested their designs.\r\n\r\nThe materials from this project are also helping build future learning opportunities. During study hall periods, students were introduced to next year's weaving and natural dyeing project through demonstrations of hand-dyed yarn and a handmade loom. The response from students was overwhelmingly positive, and many current students have already asked if an after-school club could be created so they can continue participating in weaving projects even after leaving 7th grade. Their excitement and interest demonstrated how meaningful hands-on, creative learning experiences can be for students.\r\n\r\nThese materials are helping create a classroom environment where students actively engage with history through making, experimenting, and collaborating. The impact of this project will continue as future students use these reusable materials to explore historical innovations, cultural traditions, and craftsmanship in meaningful and memorable ways.\r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting our classroom and helping make these learning experiences possible. Your generosity has given students opportunities to engage with history in creative, hands-on ways that spark curiosity, collaboration, and excitement for learning.

Knowing that members of the community care enough to invest in them has a meaningful impact on how they see themselves and their potential. Many students who were once hesitant to participate are now more engaged, motivated, and excited to be part of a team. Friendships are forming, leadership skills are emerging, and students are learning how to handle both success and challenges with resilience and respect.\r\n\r\nFlag football also provides a positive outlet for students' energy while promoting sportsmanship and mutual respect. It encourages students to stay active, support one another, and take pride in their school and accomplishments. These experiences help shape confident, well-rounded young people and contribute to a stronger school community.\r\n\r\nYour support is not just helping to fund a program—it is investing in our students' futures.

From office supplies to classroom student tools, we are putting these items into use immediately. So far, the items specifically for the students to use have been a hit. Especially, the personal pencil sharpeners. The student's were excited that they would be able to add this tool into their pencil caddies. The pencil sharperners at their desk allow students to stay focused on their work and stops them from frequently leaving their desks or waiting in line for the sharpener. This increases their amount of time on task and engaged in their learning. This is also an excellent \"fine motor\" task to strength their fingers, which helps with future pencil grasp patterns that they are developing. Strong fine motor skills and being able to grip a pencil helps to strengthen their confidence in the act of writing. \r\nThe office supplies have been utilized to decorate our classroom for the season. This includes decorating the classroom tree on our wall with ornaments the students created using paper, markers, glue, and glitter. It also helped to have a restock of packing tape and regular tape to adorn the classroom door outside of our classroom to display student art work, as well. As a class we decided that our door should have a theme of \"snowflakes, in which, the students decorated snowflakes and the teacher's wrote the cutest phrasing \"We are like snowflakes, all different, all special.\" This has helped our classroom feel festive for the holiday season is very welcoming to the students when they enter the classroom this morning. The students love looking at their work displayed on our door and finding their snowflake! Thanks to our refresh of tapes. \r\nWe still have many items that are trickling in, but BIG plans on how to use them. For example, our flannel board came today which Mrs. Jensen is super excited to use next week. We will be doing a book walk through the seasonal story \"The Mitten\", with flannel board characters, which I will be able to display for all the students to see on our new flannel board!! \r\n\r\nWe appreciate the holiday cheer that our packages coming in are bringing our students, the teachers, and our staff.
