Your support has made a meaningful difference in our learning environment, and I am truly grateful for your kindness and investment in our students.\r\n\r\nSince introducing the Tonie Box, I have seen a remarkable increase in student engagement with stories and reading. The listening center has become a favorite part of our classroom, offering students the opportunity to hear stories read aloud with expression, rich vocabulary, and strong narrative structure. This experience supports reading development by strengthening listening comprehension, expanding vocabulary, and modeling fluent reading.\r\n\r\nThe Tonie Box has also helped foster a love of books and storytelling. Students are excited to explore new stories independently or with peers, which encourages focus, imagination, and confidence. For many learners, especially emerging readers, this hands-on and auditory experience has been especially impactful in building foundational literacy skills. \r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our students now have access to a resource that supports diverse learning styles and creates joyful, meaningful learning moments every day. Thank you for helping make reading more accessible, engaging, and fun for our classroom.","fullyFundedDate":1758489201609,"projectUrl":"project/tonie-box-for-listening-center/9731503/","projectTitle":"Tonie Box for Listening Center","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Korchok","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10270137"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_88764","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":402,"numTeachers":29,"percentFrplEligible":33,"percentAsian":11,"percentBlack":4,"percentWhite":74,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":72.2,"schoolId":88764,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about McClellan Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"McClellan Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/pennsylvania/west-jefferson-hills-school-district/mcclellan-elementary-school/88764"}
