The love and enjoyment of reading has declined so much in recent years that the reading levels of middle school children have fallen too low. I wanted to bring true stories into my 6-8 ELD classroom. The stories are engaging and allow for the students to seek out more information on their chromebooks which brings about more reading. Shhh don't tell them!! \r\n I prepare questions for the books, and we read them together. Comprehension is difficult for my students so I focus many of my questions on what is taking place in the book. I do see the engagement during our discussions. I have come to the realization that I must provide these situations with reading as that is not the first choice of middle school students when they get home. I truly enjoy watching my students \"get into\" new books. I can't thank you enough for your donation.

Although our full weaving and natural dyeing project is still ahead of us, the drying rack funded through this project has already become a valuable classroom resource.\r\n\r\nThis year, it came in handy during a completely different project when students were studying color theory, experimenting with mixing colors, and painting. Having a dedicated place for students to safely dry and organize their work made it much easier for an entire class to participate in a hands-on art activity without worrying about where all of their finished pieces would go.\r\n\r\nI am especially excited to put the drying rack to its originally intended use during our upcoming weaving project in October. Students will experiment with traditional and natural dyeing practices before using their hand-dyed yarn to create woven textiles. The rack will give us a practical way to hang and dry multiple students' yarn at once as we move through the dyeing process.\r\n\r\nI can't wait to continue learning alongside my students as we experiment with natural dyes, weaving, and traditional textile-making practices. I also love knowing that this resource can support so many different creative projects in our classroom for years to come.\r\n\r\nThank you for helping us build a classroom where students have the materials and space to learn through creating, experimenting, and making with their own hands!","fullyFundedDate":1787172584617,"projectUrl":"project/the-tools-to-weave-history-to-life/10409202/","projectTitle":"The Tools to Weave History to Life","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":9596563,"projectId":10360689,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping bring these new resources into our classroom! My 2nd and 3rd graders have already been putting the supplies to good use every single day. We have been using them during math, reading, writing, and our creative projects. One of my favorite moments has been watching students use the new materials during our beginning-of-the-year activities as we practice routines, build our classroom community, and get excited about learning together.\r\n\r\nThe students were SO excited when they saw all of the new supplies! They immediately wanted to know what everything was for and when they would get to use it. There is something so special about seeing how excited kids can get over fresh markers, pencils, and other classroom materials. They were especially excited to hear that these supplies were for all of us to share throughout the year.\r\n\r\nRight now, we are continuing to build our classroom routines while diving deeper into our 2nd and 3rd grade learning. Our next steps are to use these materials as we begin more independent and collaborative reading, writing, and math activities. Having a classroom that is fully stocked means my students can focus on learning, creating, and working together without worrying about whether we have the supplies we need.

This simple system has helped make transitions smoother and encourages students to take responsibility for their own materials and learning.\r\n\r\nIn fact, they like the folders so much that several students have asked if they can use them for English class too! I have had to remind them that these folders are specifically for history because we will have plenty of use for them throughout the year. As we move through each unit, students will continue adding notes, graphic organizers, maps, and other resources that they will need to save and reference for their larger cumulative projects.\r\n\r\nThe folders and classroom storage system are helping students develop stronger organizational habits while making sure their learning stays accessible from one lesson to the next.

Your generosity has helped provide the tools our students need to explore historical weaving traditions through hands-on learning experiences.\r\n\r\nAlthough the full weaving unit will be implemented next school year, the excitement has already begun. When students saw the weaving materials arrive, they immediately became curious and eager to learn more. Many were disappointed when they learned the project was planned for next year's classes, so I decided to provide a small demonstration during study hall periods using a handmade loom and hand-dyed yarn. What started as a simple preview quickly became one of my favorite memories of the school year.\r\n\r\nStudents were fully engaged, asking thoughtful questions about weaving techniques, natural dyes, textile production, and how different cultures used woven goods throughout history. Their curiosity led to rich conversations about craftsmanship, trade, technology, and cultural traditions. Several students were so excited by the project that they asked if I could start an after-school weaving club so they could participate even after moving on from 7th grade.\r\n\r\nThe shuttle sticks, beaters, and tapestry needles funded through this project will allow future students to move beyond simply reading about history and instead experience traditional textile production firsthand. Through weaving projects, students will explore how textiles influenced daily life, trade networks, and cultural identity while developing creativity, perseverance, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.\r\n\r\nI am incredibly excited to fully implement this project in the coming school year and continue learning alongside my students as we explore historical weaving practices, traditional craftsmanship, and cultural traditions from around the world.\r\n\r\nThank you for making these meaningful learning experiences possible.

These resources have quickly become important part of our daily learning centers, where students are building language, practicing social skills, sharing, straining fine motor development, and learning through hands-on play. The sensory tools have also provided many students with opportunities to regulate their emotions and stay engaged during learning activities. \r\n\r\nOne memorial moment happened during our ocean exploration a student was playing with the sea animals and asked if they wanted to have some of their sea animals. It was a great moment about using their language skills, but also their social skills by sharing.
