Your generosity has made a meaningful difference in our students' daily learning experiences.\r\n\r\nSince introducing the Tonies Box, I have seen tremendous growth in my students' listening skills. They are more attentive, engaged, and able to focus for longer periods of time. The interactive storytelling format captures their attention in a way that feels exciting and special, while also strengthening critical early literacy skills such as listening comprehension, sequencing, and vocabulary development.\r\n\r\nFor many of my students, especially those who benefit from additional support with attention and language development, the Tonies Box has provided an accessible and joyful way to practice sustained listening. They eagerly gather around, carefully follow along with stories, and often retell or act out what they have heard — a beautiful sign that they are truly processing and understanding the content.\r\n\r\nBeyond skill development, it has also fostered independence and responsibility. The children love selecting the figures, placing them on the box, and taking ownership of their listening time. It has quickly become one of the most treasured parts of our classroom routine.\r\n\r\nYour kindness has given our students not just a new resource, but new opportunities to grow as thoughtful listeners and emerging readers. We are incredibly grateful for your support and for investing in our young learners.","fullyFundedDate":1757791761858,"projectUrl":"project/tonies-time-can-you-hear-our-love-for-r/9551911/","projectTitle":"Tonies Time!

These materials—playdough and stamps —provide hands-on, engaging ways for young learners to explore the building blocks of reading. With these tools, my students can practice identifying and manipulating sounds in words, recognize letter-sound relationships, and begin to connect spoken language to print. The donations also allow me to create more interactive, differentiated literacy centers that meet children at their individual skill levels. As a result, students develop stronger listening, speaking, and early reading skills, gain confidence in their ability to decode words, and build a foundation for future reading success. Overall, these resources enrich my instruction and create a more vibrant, literacy-rich environment where every child can thrive.","fullyFundedDate":1754379852539,"projectUrl":"project/loving-literacy/9528764/","projectTitle":"Loving Literacy","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Huff","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp1877204_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1524836248785","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/juliana-huff"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_39211","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":270,"numTeachers":20,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":5,"percentBlack":9,"percentWhite":73,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"13.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":58.1,"schoolId":39211,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Cranberry Prosperity Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Cranberry Prosperity Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/west-virginia/raleigh-county-school-district/cranberry-prosperity-elementary-school/39211"}
