We are incredibly grateful for your generosity!\r\n\r\nThe Toniebox has quickly become a favorite in our classroom. Many of my students benefit from hands-on, interactive learning tools, and this technology allows them to independently listen to stories, music, and songs that support language development and listening skills. Students simply place a character on top of the Toniebox to start the story, which makes it very easy and motivating for them to use on their own.\r\n\r\nWhat has been most exciting is seeing how engaged the students are with it. They love choosing the different characters and hearing the stories begin right away. It has become a popular choice during centers and quiet listening time.\r\n\r\nSome students who typically struggle to stay engaged during traditional story time have especially connected with the Toniebox. The tactile piece of placing the character on the box and controlling the audio keeps them involved and excited to participate. It has been wonderful to watch them independently choose stories and stay focused while listening.\r\n\r\nYour support has helped create a more engaging and accessible learning experience for my students, and we truly appreciate it.

The soft lights and gentle bubbles instantly captured my students' attention. We use the bubble tube as part of our sensory corner, where students can relax, refocus, and build self-regulation skills. It has also become a valuable tool during small-group time, helping students engage in calming sensory experiences before transitioning into more structured learning activities.\r\nOne of my favorite moments was watching a student who typically has difficulty engaging during group time sit quietly, mesmerized by the lights, and begin naming the colors as they changed. The bubble tube has created a shared space for students to explore, communicate, and connect in new ways.\r\nAs we move forward, we plan to incorporate the bubble tube into our lessons about emotions and mindfulness. Students will learn to use the tube as a visual and sensory cue for calming strategies, helping them identify and manage their feelings more independently. Thanks to this generous donation, our classroom is a brighter, calmer, and more inclusive space for every student to learn and grow.","fullyFundedDate":1746804762651,"projectUrl":"project/sensory-lamp-for-sensory-classroom/9108113/","projectTitle":"Sensory Lamp for Sensory Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Hansbury","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8943504"},{"teacherId":178932,"projectId":8284776,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your donation toward wiggle furniture!
