When the boxes arrived and I pulled out the familiar, colorful covers of David Shannon's books, my students were absolutely buzzing with excitement. For many of my learners, these stories provide a much-needed mirror to their own high-energy lives, helping them realize that making mistakes is okay as long as we learn how to make things right.\r\n\r\nWe have already begun using these resources during our morning meeting \"Circle Time.\" We recently read No, David! and used it to discuss our own classroom norms. The students loved pointing out what David was doing wrong, which led to a wonderful, student-led brainstorm on what \"green choices\" look like in our room. Seeing them engage so deeply with the characters makes it clear that these books are more than just stories; they are vital tools for building our classroom community and developing empathy.\r\n\r\nYour support has truly transformed our reading nook into a hub for social-emotional growth. Moving forward, we plan to use these books for a \"Character Study\" project where students will write their own \"David\" stories, focusing on positive social interactions and problem-solving. Thank you for investing in my students' emotional intelligence and for showing them that there is a whole community of people rooting for their success.","fullyFundedDate":1771638759755,"projectUrl":"project/learning-social-skills-through-david-sha/9969597/","projectTitle":"Learning Social Skills Through David Shannon Stories","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. W.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp18452_orig.png?crop=854,854,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1686328610096","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/wilfa"},{"teacherId":18452,"projectId":9792792,"letterContent":"Dear Donors,\r\nThank you so much for your incredible generosity!

The technology provided through this project has made a meaningful difference in how my students access learning each day. In our 12:1:1 classroom, technology is used intentionally to support communication, engagement, and independence. The tablets provided by this project allow students to practice early academic skills like letter recognition, tracing, and listening comprehension at their own pace, while also supporting sensory regulation and focus during structured learning time.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most about this new technology is the ability to interact with learning in a hands-on and motivating way. Many of my students are drawn to the visual and auditory feedback the technology provides, which helps maintain attention and reinforces learning through repetition. The predictability and structure of the digital activities make learning feel safe and accessible, especially for students who benefit from routine and clear expectations.\r\n\r\nSeveral students have shown notable growth since using this technology regularly.

For many of our students, hearing stories read aloud with consistent pacing and repetition helps build attention, language, and confidence with books.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom looks different from a traditional setting, and that is what makes these materials so impactful. Students listen to stories during whole-group instruction, small groups, and independent TEACCH rotations. They follow along using visuals, respond to simple questions through pointing, verbal language, or communication devices, and engage in calming, structured listening time. The hands-on nature of the Tonies allows students to independently access stories, promoting autonomy while still supporting comprehension and engagement.\r\n\r\nSeveral of our students have shown a strong connection to these new books. Some are drawn to placing the Tonie characters on the box and listening repeatedly to favorite stories, while others demonstrate increased attention span and reduced sensory behaviors during listening time. For students who benefit from repetition and predictable routines, the Tonies have become a motivating and comforting part of our literacy block.
