The students have absolutely loved exploring this new addition during centers time. The Tonies box allows them to listen to stories in a developmentally appropriate and engaging way, helping to foster their listening and comprehension skills while encouraging imagination. They are always excited to see some of their favorite characters, like Daniel Tiger and The Cat in the Hat, come to life through stories and songs.\r\nThe Tonies player has also brought so much joy and energy to our classroom routines. The children love singing along and taking dance breaks on the carpet as their favorite tunes play. It has even made nap time more peaceful and enjoyable—students now relax and unwind while listening to gentle classical sleepy-time music from the Tonies box. This special addition has truly enriched our classroom environment, helping students learn, play, and rest in a fun and meaningful way.","fullyFundedDate":1753980270834,"projectUrl":"project/audio-books-engaging-literacy-activity/9437129/","projectTitle":"Audio books: Engaging Literacy Activity for Toddlers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Twesten","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-5_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10065709"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_81352","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":441,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":58,"percentAsian":4,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":30,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":63,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"13.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":71.4,"schoolId":81352,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Schuyler Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Schuyler Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-jersey/kearny-school-district/schuyler-junior-school/81352"}
