Because of your kindness, my kindergarten students now have their own math manipulative pouches filled with dice, containers, and other hands-on tools that make learning exciting and meaningful.\r\n\r\nThese pouches are already making a huge difference in our classroom. Having individual sets allows my students to explore math concepts through play, stay organized, and fully engage in small-group and independent activities. They're thrilled to have \"their own\" materials, and their enthusiasm has been contagious!\r\n\r\nYour support helps lay a strong foundation for their love of math and learning.

The moment it arrived, my superheroes were instantly drawn to it. Because the Toniebox is designed for little hands—with simple controls and durable materials—they can use it independently, which has greatly increased their confidence and sense of ownership during learning centers.\r\nThe Tonie characters you helped provide include stories and songs that we already read and sing together in class. This familiarity has helped students strengthen their early literacy skills—especially comprehension, vocabulary, and listening stamina. I've watched students sit together to retell familiar stories, sing along to classroom songs, and even use the content to calm their bodies during transitions or quiet time.\r\nFor some of my superheroes who struggle with attention or self-regulation, the Toniebox has become a powerful tool for redirection. They can choose a comforting story or song that helps them reset and return to learning. This independence supports their emotional skills as much as their academic growth.\r\nThank you for your kind and generous donations!
