My art club was the first group of students that got to try the needle felting (painting with wool). They were so excited to get started! They dove right in. Using these different kinds of supplies not only helps them learn but helps with their fine motor skills. \r\nThey learned about where wool comes from and how they dye the wool different colors. They are learning about seeing different values of color in pictures and layering other colors on top of each other. They also learned about two artists that are experts at their craft. \r\nI can't wait to see how their projects turn out when they are finished. It is definitely keeping them engaged. These art projects will be in our \"Blast Off Bash.\" That is the end of the year school fine arts night where people in the community are invited to come see music performances, student art gallery, and make collaborative art.

While these items may look simple, they are powerful tools in an early childhood setting. Sensory materials help students explore the world through touch, movement, and play while also supporting self-regulation and focus. Fine motor activities strengthen the small muscles in their hands, which are essential for writing, cutting, and everyday independence.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is that learning now feels like play. They are eager to twist, squeeze, build, sort, and manipulate materials during centers. The new classroom furniture has created cozy, inviting spaces where students feel comfortable sitting, working, and collaborating with peers. Having child-sized furniture helps them feel independent and confident in their environment.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who previously struggled to focus, follow directions, or manage big emotions have especially benefited from these materials. The sensory tools provide calming support when they feel overwhelmed, and the fine motor activities give them a sense of accomplishment as they build strength and coordination. Overall, this project has helped create a classroom where students feel safe, engaged, and ready to learn — laying a strong foundation for their academic and social success.","fullyFundedDate":1759772730220,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-hearts-building-bright-futures/9698240/","projectTitle":"Hands-on Hearts: Building Bright Futures Through Sensory Play","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Frank","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10248486"},{"teacherId":10115685,"projectId":9554759,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the art supplies. My students are beyond excited about trying a new medium. Painting with wool is something they have never seen or tried before. \r\n Students will pick a felt piece and think about what kind of landscape they may want to create. They will use the needles and different colored wool to push the wool through the felt. This will help them create their art. \r\n It will also enhance their fine motor skills while learning about where wool comes from and how people use it in different ways in our world.
