Because of your kindness, my students can now access a world of stories and educational audio content. \r\n\r\n\r\nThe Toniebox has been a fantastic tool for early literacy. We use it during our listening center to follow along with stories, which has improved their comprehension and vocabulary. One student, who was a bit shy about reading aloud, now confidently sings along to the songs on the \"Tonie-powered\" audiobooks.\r\n\r\nThe Toniebox has been a wonderful addition to our classroom, and we are so grateful for your support in making this happen. Thank you again for investing in my students and helping them develop a lifelong love for learning.","fullyFundedDate":1755401995381,"projectUrl":"project/listen-and-learn-while-having-fun/9482645/","projectTitle":"Listen and Learn While Having Fun!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Driskill","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1754091_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1466205279100","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/heather-driskill"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_87403","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":509,"numTeachers":34,"percentFrplEligible":71,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":46,"percentIndigenous":18,"percentLatinx":10,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"15.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":63.2,"schoolId":87403,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Sperry Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Sperry Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/oklahoma/sperry-school-district-8/sperry-elementary-school/87403"}
