Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I would like to use the Tonies box and characters to allow students the opportunity to utilize screen-free technology but also gain benefits that come from being read to such as listening skills, comprehension, language development and so much more. Each character has stories that are predownloaded. When the character is placed on top of the box, the stories play. The students have the ability to adjust the volume at their own discretion as well as change the magnetic characters when they would like. Tapping the box on either side, allows the students to change stories.

Tonies allow students to hear stories being read aloud even when an adult is not nearby or available to read to them.

We all know how beneficial it is for students to be read to. Reading builds a child's success in listening, comprehension, language development, imagination, and even their social interaction. The Tonies box will allow students to have this capability in their own hands.

The creative Tonies allow for stories to be recorded and uploaded to the character. This will allow myself to record stories that are relative to our current topic/study for the children to hear. It would also be neat for students to record themselves reading a story for other students to enjoy!
