My artists were thrilled to use the new resources. When I first pulled the lacing beads and needles out for my kindergarten students they lit up! I have a new K0 student that is still in the quiet period of english language development and adjusting to being away from home in a school setting for the first time. They have not really responded enthusiastically to our painting projects or color songs, but once I pulled out the beads they immediately put down their stuffy and started lacing the colorful beads. It was so exciting to see this response! In fact, it allowed me to observe their fine motor skills as they are only 3 years old and have been thrust into an art class with both K0 and K1 students in the end of a school year. \r\n\r\nMy K2 students were also thrilled when I said they could \"sew\" the beads onto the fabric. I watched as they re-threaded the needles after watching me and began to work a running stitch across the frame. They didn't know it was a running stitch but they knew they were having fun sewing. :-) Students waited for their turn to sew as I only set up one frame to start so that I could observe and assist a small group at a time. I am already thinking about how to create a stable free standing fabric frame so that my upcoming K0 student with physical challenges will be able to sew with one hand next year. \r\n\r\nI hope you know how wonderful you are and how much your kindness impacts the lives of child AND teachers!","fullyFundedDate":1767145629857,"projectUrl":"project/fabulous-fun-with-fibers/9934376/","projectTitle":"Fabulous Fun with Fibers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bolden","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6288734_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753286880684","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/carla-bolden"},{"teacherId":3895584,"projectId":10090635,"letterContent":"Our classroom is neat and organized now that we aren't constantly chasing old tennis balls falling off the chairs.

Instead of just reading about the concept, they were able to interact with a large display, allowing them to see more details. \r\nWhen the projector first arrived, the excitement in the room was immediate. Students were eager to explore everything, asking questions and making connections right away. It sparked a level of curiosity and enthusiasm that carried into our lessons for days afterward.

With their needs met, students were more engaged and eager to participate in creative tasks, using their energy to draw, build, write, and collaborate with classmates.\r\nThanks to your generosity, our next steps include continuing to pair snack time with creativity-focused learning activities.
