This engaging audio system is already making a significant impact in our classroom by transforming how our students interact with literature and navigate their daily routines.\r\nThrough listening to audio stories and following along with physical books, our students are developing important pre-reading skills while engaging with their favorite stories. They are also strengthening bilingual comprehension by accessing stories in both English and Spanish, allowing them to bridge understanding and expand their vocabulary in an engaging and meaningful way.\r\n\r\nThe Toniebox also serves as a powerful tool for autonomy. Its child-friendly design allows students to operate it independently, helping build confidence, responsibility, and self-direction. In addition, many Tonies support movement, mindfulness, and relaxation, promoting social-emotional learning, purposeful movement, and the joy of music in both languages.\r\n\r\nThrough your generosity, our students are not only engaging in literacy and music—they are learning to regulate their emotions, collaborate with peers, develop independence, and become more organized and focused learners.\r\n\r\nThank you for investing in our students' education and for helping us create a more literacy-rich, joyful learning environment.","fullyFundedDate":1758813657416,"projectUrl":"project/little-ears-big-independence/9734923/","projectTitle":"Little Ears, Big Independence!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lopez/ Annex","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10026486_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753732275942","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/red-group"},{"teacherId":10026486,"projectId":9508304,"letterContent":"Thanks to your generous support, our pre-kindergarten children now have a world of stories and imagination right at their fingertips.\r\nBecause of you, our library is filled with new books perfectly suited for our youngest readers. These books teach kindness, spark curiosity, and build early literacy skills in both English and Spanish. The beautifully illustrated stories are making a true difference, helping our little ones develop social-emotional skills, pre-reading skills and communication skills while promoting a love for literacy.\r\nEach day, we see the joy on our children's faces as they gather by the children's library and the cozy area. They are ready to explore new adventures using books. It's a delight to watch them name and label as they flip through the pages of a book, some are beginning to retell favorite stories using pictures. Our non-verbal and English learners students are using the illustrations to point and demonstrate their receptive skills and all the students explore new vocabulary with our bilingual books. They also requests titles during small group or individual read aloud from their library. The students are also beginning to use self regulation, use the visuals in the cozy area to express emotions and apply calm down strategies that help support their social emotional growth. \r\nYou didn't just help us enrich our children's library and cozy area. You helped us plant the seeds that will promote a lifelong love of learning and reading. \r\nOn behalf of our students, families, and staff, thank you for believing in the importance of early literacy and for helping us create a warm, welcoming space where stories come alive.","fullyFundedDate":1754879560923,"projectUrl":"project/literacy-for-peques/9508304/","projectTitle":"Literacy For Peques","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Lopez/ Annex","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10026486_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1753732275942","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/red-group"},{"teacherId":5854944,"projectId":9758138,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for our portable SmartBoard.
