When the supplies arrived, my students were immediately excited. Many of them had never held a crochet hook or worked with yarn before. There was a lot of curiosity, a few laughs, and even some frustration at first, but that quickly turned into determination. We started with simple stitches, and it was incredible to watch students help each other, celebrate small successes, and stay focused longer than I typically see in a classroom setting. One of my favorite moments was watching a student who usually struggles to stay engaged proudly show off their first completed piece; it was a small square, but the sense of accomplishment was huge.\r\n\r\nSince then, we've been using the materials regularly to build skills and confidence. Students are currently working on small projects like scarves and simple creations they can personalize, and they're already asking about more advanced designs. Beyond learning crochet, they've created a calm, supportive space where they can relax, talk, and connect with one another in a positive way. Moving forward, we plan to continue building on these skills and eventually work toward a group project where students can create items to give back to others. Your donation has made all of this possible, and it has had a bigger impact than you might imagine, not just on their skills, but on their confidence and sense of community.\r\n\r\nThank you again for making this experience possible for our students.\r\n\r\nSincerely,","fullyFundedDate":1766764188449,"projectUrl":"project/crotchet-supplies/9861378/","projectTitle":"Crotchet Supplies","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Kaiser","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10259480"},{"teacherId":10398522,"projectId":9988783,"letterContent":"Your contribution of a class set of The Phantom Tollbooth has had a powerful impact on my students this year and will continue to do so in the coming years as well. Advanced ELAR students were challenged by the novel's figurative language (especially idioms and puns) and built deeper reading comprehension skills through that challenge. We broke down the names of characters such as The Humbug and Princesses Rhyme and Reason for further context and characterization. Students also engaged in classroom discussions, assessments, and mini-projects throughout the three weeks we spent reading. \r\n\r\nStudents were encouraged to read outside of class at home and several parents reached out to express their delight watching their children read at night. Students also signed up for reading days during our in school study hall periods, and they enjoyed the final reading day in class by building \"reading forts\". I am delighted to share that they read for an entire hour that day which is a significant leap in their reading stamina compared to the beginning of the school year. \r\n\r\nOnce done, students completed a survey about The Phantom Tollbooth and 21 out of 26 students answered that the book was challenging but engaging and they would recommend it to a friend. \r\n\r\nYour generous donation made all of this possible and has encouraged me to expand our novel unit to two whole class novels in the coming 2026-2027 school year. \r\n\r\nThank you again for supporting our students, classroom, and school with your kindness. I am excited to plan another novel unit over the summer and look forward to yours and other donor's continued support for our children's education.","fullyFundedDate":1768494020157,"projectUrl":"project/book-club-novels-for-advanced-elar/9988783/","projectTitle":"Book Club Novels for Advanced ELAR","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Scalf","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10398522_orig.jpg?crop=1291,1291,x67,y355&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1768255786932","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10398522"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_94628","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":978,"numTeachers":73,"percentFrplEligible":9,"percentAsian":70,"percentBlack":6,"percentWhite":12,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":5,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"13.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":88.9,"schoolId":94628,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Pat & Katherine Fowler Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Pat & Katherine Fowler Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/frisco-independent-school-district/fowler-middle-school/94628"}
