Audio Story Time!

Funded May 9, 2023

Thank you for providing the funds to our classroom project "Audio Story Time!". We've already been using this in our classroom daily! Not only do we use it to tell us stories, but we also use it for music and movement time. We enjoy sitting in our library tree and listening to the stories independently or with one of our friends. We get to pick our characters out of our classroom basket and put them onto the box to help us with our independence in reading. He reads stories with us in the morning, before lunch, and before nap time.

When our teachers introduced us to our new story time box, we were very excited to get to pick out our animals ourselves and put them on the box. We loved that we had so many options to choose from as well. Our favorite story time character at this point is the pig. Not only does he have a fun story, but he has fun animal songs for us to dance to! His songs and stories are all about animals and that is what we enjoy the most in our classroom right now. We are very interested in animals and the sounds that they make.

Our next stop in the project is to continue to promote the early reading skills in our classroom and maybe even purchase a few more Tonies. Were really interested in the ones that we can add our own songs and stories to. We haven't quite decided which other characters we were interested in purchasing to supplement the generous donation you've given us but we're very excited to keep on learning and exploring reading through these characters.”

With gratitude,
