It's a safe place for them to wait for parents to pick them up from school. \r\n\r\nWe started with crochet because that is what the students chose. Neither of the sponsors knew how to crochet. Another teacher stayed late one afternoon to get us started. Some of the students who had crocheting skills accepted the leadership. The supplies provided by Donors choose were perfect for beginning crochet. The Crochet hooks worked well. The yarn colors were great. By November, most of us could make a slip knot. Some of us could make a long chain and bracelets. The more advanced students were making cute flowers, granny squares and a blanket. \r\n\r\nOur students were happy to use the crochet hooks and yarn. The colors were great for their projects of bracelets and flowers. Our next project is to learn to knit.","fullyFundedDate":1725762467334,"projectUrl":"project/textiles-knitting-and-crochet-club/8743037/","projectTitle":"Textiles Knitting and Crochet Club.","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Castanon","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9732077"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_96440","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":392,"numTeachers":19,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":94,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"20.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":78.2,"schoolId":96440,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Travis Early College High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Travis Early College High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/san-antonio-independent-school-district/travis-early-college-high-school/96440"}
