From kindergarten through 5th grade, weaving is a skill I teach every year—but until now, we've never had enough real tools for every student to fully experience the process. Thanks to you, that has completely changed.\r\n\r\nThe moment the looms arrived, the excitement was instant. Students couldn't wait to begin the weaving unit and transform yarn into fabric. Watching their hands create something so tactile and meaningful has been truly magical.\r\n\r\nOur 4th graders were the first to dive in, and their creativity has already amazed me. One student proudly turned their weaving into a doll-sized pillow, and another made a small purse—joyful discoveries made possible by having real tools in their hands.\r\n\r\nI can't wait to introduce weaving to my 5th graders next!\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, every student now has the opportunity to practice weaving with high-quality looms. You've helped create an art room where imagination, skill-building, and hands-on learning can thrive. We are so grateful for your kindness.\r\n\r\nThank you for making this project possible and for making such a lasting impact on our young artists!","fullyFundedDate":1755738958909,"projectUrl":"project/looming-with-creativity-weaving-art-int/9328465/","projectTitle":"Looming with Creativity: Weaving Art Into Our Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. J","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9497502_orig.jpg?crop=1576,1576,x273,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1746632969214","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9497502"},{"teacherId":7070604,"projectId":9600476,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your support of my classroom.
