It has completely changed our day. We are now completely screen free. I have not used the iPads a single time this year. Instead we are listening to Tonies and following along in physical books. The kids are still very excited about them and it is their favorite independent station in our classroom. They often will choose to listen to a Toni and draw a picture that goes along with the story. We got headphone splitters so multiple students can listen together. It is such an amazing change and I love that my students don't even think to ask me when iPad time is anymore. It is also a great tool for students having a difficult moment to go to the library, listen to a story, and self regulate.","fullyFundedDate":1760464589882,"projectUrl":"project/screen-free-listening-center-for-beginni/9777781/","projectTitle":"Screen Free Listening Center for Beginning Readers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hall","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp6902898_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1759235470000","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6902898"},{"teacherId":10147335,"projectId":9546778,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for purchasing these items for my students at Sherwood Elementary School. \r\nThe stools are wonderful for our big table in the back of the classroom where I do math and reading groups.
