Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Listening libraries are a great station for students to build their reading strategies. A Toniebox is a creative take on storytelling that is perfect for the classroom. This is going to be a great classroom tool to allow students the opportunity to utilize screen-free technology but also gain benefits that come from being read to such as listening skills, comprehension, language development and so much more. Each character has stories and/or songs that are pre-downloaded. When the character is placed on top of the box, the stories and songs play.

Reading builds a child's success in listening, comprehension, language development, imagination, and even social interaction.

The Tonies box and characters will be available for students to not only hear stories but also to be used to play background music in the classroom that is sensory needs friendly as well as child friendly. The creative Tonies allow for stories and material to be recorded and uploaded to the character. This will allow me to record stories that are relative to our current topic/study. I am especially excited for the opportunity to add nonfiction Tonies to our listening station and include some more science time into our day.
