My students absolutely love it. Every day they ask, \"Can I use the TonieBox today? It has quickly become one of their favorite things in our classroom. \r\n\r\nThey have learned to use it all by themselves. They know if the story is not finished when they first put it on they need to put on the Toni character with the music. They listen to the music for a bit then they will place the Tonie character with the story on to the box and start enjoying the story. My students have become independent and are always happy to help one another. It's wonderful to see them take turns and work together. \r\n\r\nI love to see the smiles on their faces and hear their giggles while reading with their friends. It has brought joy to our classroom\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping me make my students more independent and enjoy the love of reading books.","fullyFundedDate":1755527310192,"projectUrl":"project/literacy-love/9544989/","projectTitle":"Literacy Love!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Caruana","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9073884"},{"teacherId":8153167,"projectId":9166442,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for helping with our classroom donations!
