Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Tonies boxes are these unique audio players that bring books to life. Having these in the classroom will make reading magical again. These are tonies that go with picture books that will bring reading to life for all of my little learners. A Tonie box also has the capability for me to record different books for students to follow along with.

Listening comprehension is an underdeveloped skill that this project can help us to develop in our classroom.

These boxes would be used daily for all students, I am excited to see my students learn and grow through this project.
