I am writing on behalf of the students and staff at Caliente Elementary School to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous donation of Tonie characters. Your support has made a significant impact on our classroom environment and has been a wonderful addition to our educational toolkit.\r\n\r\nSince incorporating the Tonie characters into our classroom centers, we have observed a remarkable enhancement in student engagement and learning. The variety of characters you provided has allowed us to create diverse and dynamic learning experiences that cater to various interests and learning styles. Each character brings its own unique story and educational content, sparking curiosity and imagination among our students.\r\n\r\nThe Wild Kratts Tonie and the StoryBots Tonie have quickly become favorites among our students. They are not only entertaining but also educational, providing a fun and interactive way for students to explore topics such as wildlife and science. Each time students engage with these characters, they embark on an adventure that enriches their knowledge and understanding of the world around them. The interactive nature of the Tonies encourages students to ask questions, seek answers, and think critically, which are essential skills for their academic and personal growth.\r\n\r\nMoreover, the Tonie characters have proven to be an invaluable resource in our efforts to support students who experience emotional challenges. We have integrated the Tonies into our calming corner, a safe space where students can go when they feel overwhelmed or need a break. The soothing voices and engaging stories of the Tonie characters provide a comforting presence that helps de-escalate students' emotions. This has been particularly beneficial for students who struggle with anxiety or have difficulty regulating their emotions, allowing them to return to their academic tasks with a clearer mind and renewed focus.\r\n\r\nYour donation has not only enriched our educational resources but has also contributed to a more inclusive and supportive learning environment. The ability to offer such a wide range of characters means that every student can find something that resonates with them personally, fostering a sense of belonging and inclusion within our classroom community.\r\n\r\nOnce again, thank you for your generosity and for believing in the potential of our students. Your support has made a meaningful difference in their educational journey and emotional well-being. We are incredibly grateful for your contribution and look forward to continuing to integrate these wonderful educational tools into our everyday learning experiences.","fullyFundedDate":1742846875123,"projectUrl":"project/tonie-characters/9204755/","projectTitle":"Tonie Characters","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Frehner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9353037"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_83039","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":87,"numTeachers":10,"percentFrplEligible":51,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":92,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":6,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"8.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":50.0,"schoolId":83039,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Caliente Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Caliente Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nevada/lincoln-public-schools/caliente-elementary-school/83039"}
