Our students use it to listen to stories, songs, and directions, explore sounds, and interact with visuals that support early literacy, language development, and listening skills. It allows students to hear clear modeling of speech and vocabulary, follow along with stories, and stay focused during group lessons. Technology also supports different learning styles, especially for young learners who benefit from seeing, hearing, and interacting at the same time.\r\nWhat excites my students most is that learning feels fun and interactive. They love being able to sit together, listen closely, and explore sounds and stories in a shared way. The clear audio and engaging content capture their attention and spark curiosity. Students often ask to hear stories again or repeat songs, which builds confidence, memory, and comprehension while making learning joyful.\r\nYes, several students have especially benefited from this technology. My quieter students and those who are still developing language skills have become more engaged and confident. Students with shorter attention spans are able to stay focused longer, and English language learners benefit from hearing clear pronunciation and repeated exposure to new words. This technology helps all students feel included and successful, while allowing each child to learn at their own pace.","fullyFundedDate":1762265340343,"projectUrl":"project/listen-learn-and-explore-pre-k/9722131/","projectTitle":"LISTEN, LEARN AND EXPLORE PRE-K","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Christina Chartier","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7895112_orig.png?crop=490,491,x0,y78&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1740766953684","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7895112"},{"teacherId":7895112,"projectId":9601944,"letterContent":"We have been using the new resources during our literacy and learning centers. One special moment was when the children worked together with the new alphabet manipulatives to build their names and practice beginning sounds. The materials have made lessons more hands-on and engaging, helping students connect play with early literacy skills.\r\nThe students' faces lit up with excitement when the boxes arrived! They were eager to explore, touch, and share the materials with their classmates. Many of them proudly showed their creations to their friends and teachers, which sparked wonderful peer-to-peer learning moments.\r\nOur next step is to use these resources in small-group instruction to strengthen phonemic awareness and vocabulary. We will also integrate them into a classroom storytelling project, where students will use the materials to retell favorite stories and create their own. This will not only build literacy skills but also foster creativity and collaboration.","fullyFundedDate":1755725160273,"projectUrl":"project/little-friends-learning-in-pre-k/9601944/","projectTitle":"Little Friends Learning in Pre-K!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Christina Chartier","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7895112_orig.png?crop=490,491,x0,y78&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1740766953684","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7895112"},{"teacherId":8904173,"projectId":9564348,"letterContent":"I can not begin to describe the impact of these resources have had on the atmosphere of our classroom.
