It can also be used as a recorder for the teacher. The box could be used in a large-group setting, and the children could listen on their own.\r\n\r\nThe children enjoyed listening to the many stories during story time and dancing to the music during music and movement time. The many characters provided hours of fun, helping the children stay focused as they learned.","fullyFundedDate":1758231125308,"projectUrl":"project/inspiring-literacy-through-a-listening-e/9608010/","projectTitle":"Inspiring Literacy through A Listening Experience","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Brooks","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8464492_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651854453969","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8464492"},{"teacherId":8464492,"projectId":9606314,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your support in funding my classroom with all the materials needed to support their learning, creativity, and imagination.

It's where we share our thoughts, celebrate small wins, and build a sense of community.

This simple carpet has completely changed the atmosphere of our classroom.\r\n\r\nBefore, students didn't have a defined space to come together. Now, they know this is our spot — where learning, laughter, and connection happen every single day.
