They have absolutely loved how easy the TonieBox is to use and have caught on to using it independently within only a day. Every student has chosen to use our library and TonieBox daily since we received it. \r\nWe offered to parents the opportunity to record stories that we can play in the classroom on our TonieBox and the absolute joy when a student hears their parent's voice has been beyond priceless. They run around the room telling every one of their friends that's their grownup reading a story and are so excited to listen to their story. This has also drawn their friends in to listen to more stories because they love hearing stories from friends' grown ups as well as their own. \r\nWe found an added benefit and use we found for our TonieBox and creative tonies when the winter weather hit and we have been stuck inside. I have been able to load some fun educational songs that get the kids up and moving for indoor recess. They love dancing and hearing songs that are building countless skills as well as keeping them engaged when we are all stuck inside. \r\nI am just so thankful for your help in getting these amazing tools for my classroom that are beyond appreciated every day. This has been a wonderful way to bring the best of technology to my students that has helped build so many skills already.","fullyFundedDate":1733268200357,"projectUrl":"project/stories-without-screens/8814832/","projectTitle":"Stories Without Screens","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Renee","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9774517"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_91109","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":483,"numTeachers":39,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":89,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":0,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"12.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":72.2,"schoolId":91109,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Bethlehem Center Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Bethlehem Center Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/bethlehem-center-school-district/bethlehem-center-elementary-school/91109"}
