Your generosity has provided my students with much more than a fun new classroom resource—it has given them another exciting way to experience stories, music, language, and independent learning.\r\nThe Toniebox has quickly become a resource that encourages my students to listen, imagine, communicate, and learn. At four years old, children learn best when they are actively engaged, and the Toniebox gives them an age-appropriate way to interact with stories and songs while building important early literacy and listening skills.\r\nOne of the things I love most is the independence it provides. My students can learn how to choose a Tonie, place it on the Toniebox, and listen with minimal adult assistance. These simple steps help build confidence, responsibility, and independence—all skills that are incredibly important in Pre-K.\r\nThe stories and songs also give us opportunities to strengthen vocabulary, comprehension, sequencing, imagination, and communication. Students can listen to familiar favorites, discover new stories, sing along to songs, and talk with their friends about what they have heard. With the addition of headphones, students are also able to enjoy the Toniebox as a more individualized learning experience when needed.\r\nMost importantly, my students are excited to use it! When children are excited about learning, some of the most meaningful learning takes place.\r\nAs a Pre-K teacher, I am always looking for ways to make our classroom engaging, hands-on, and welcoming to different types of learners. Thanks to your support, the Toniebox will be a resource that can be enjoyed by my students this year and by many more little learners who enter my classroom in the years to come.\r\nThank you for believing in my students and investing in their education. Your generosity has brought stories, songs, smiles, and meaningful learning experiences into our classroom, and I am incredibly grateful.\r\nYou have made a lasting impact on our little learners, and we cannot thank you enough!","fullyFundedDate":1782423892140,"projectUrl":"project/tiny-ears-big-adventures-bringing-stor/10345687/","projectTitle":"Tiny Ears, Big Adventures: Bringing Stories to Life","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Roberts","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8496464_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1781896171062","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8496464"},{"teacherId":9919014,"projectId":9753238,"letterContent":"On behalf of my classroom, I want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your incredible generosity in donating such wonderful learning resources to our students. The Hot Wheels tracks, marble runs, magnetic tiles, reaction toys, and educational development toys you provided have truly transformed our classroom environment and created countless opportunities for meaningful learning experiences. Your thoughtful contributions demonstrate a deep understanding of how children learn best—through hands-on exploration and engaging play.\r\n\r\nThese amazing resources have had a profound impact on our students' educational journey. The marble runs and Hot Wheels tracks have become powerful tools for teaching cause and effect, physics concepts, and problem-solving skills as students experiment with different configurations and observe the results. The magnetic tiles have sparked creativity while reinforcing geometric concepts, spatial reasoning, and engineering thinking. Meanwhile, the reaction toys and educational development materials have provided perfect opportunities for students to practice fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and cognitive development in ways that feel natural and enjoyable rather than like traditional \"work.\"\r\n\r\nPerhaps most importantly, these toys have become catalysts for social growth in our classroom. Every day, I witness students learning to share materials, collaborate on building projects, and patiently wait their turns during popular activities. The excitement these resources generate has created natural opportunities for peer interaction, communication, and friendship-building among students who might otherwise struggle with social connections. Your donation has given our students not just toys, but tools for developing the social and emotional skills they'll carry with them throughout their lives. Thank you for believing in our students and investing in their bright futures.","fullyFundedDate":1759011208806,"projectUrl":"project/growing-minds-through-play/9753238/","projectTitle":"Growing Minds Through Play!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Mikayla","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9919014_orig.jpg?crop=276,276,x109,y43&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1758907197740","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9919014"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_14208","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":417,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":75,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":62,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":18,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":5,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"14.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":83.2,"schoolId":14208,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Arp Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Arp Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/arp-independent-school-district/arp-elementary-school/14208"}
