We started by listening to a few stories together as a whole group, and the excitement and engagement was wonderful to see. Afterwards, students were given opportunities to listen to stories in small groups while following along with the books. This has helped make reading even more interactive and enjoyable, while encouraging students to build their listening skills, connect spoken words to print, and develop a love of reading. \r\n\r\nThe Toniebox has also become a valuable tool for supporting students social emotional needs. It provides a calming option for students who need a quiet break, a moment to reset, or a little time to themselves before returning to learning. Having access to stories and songs gives students another way to relax, regulate their emotions, and feel comfortable in the classroom. \r\n\r\nBecause of your kindness, my students now have more opportunities to learn, grow, and use their imaginations.
