Because of you, our students now have additional Tonies, matching books, and hands-on materials that truly bring stories to life in our school library.\r\n\r\nThe new Tonies — like Dragons Love Tacos — paired with the corresponding books allow students to listen and follow along, strengthening reading fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary. The audio support builds confidence in emerging readers while also modeling expressive reading. It has been incredible to watch students eagerly turn pages as they listen, completely engaged in the story.\r\n\r\nWhat makes this addition even more special are the hands-on materials, like the felt taco building set to accompany Dragons Love Tacos. These interactive pieces extend learning beyond the page. Students retell stories, sequence events, and engage in imaginative play inspired by the books. They are not just listening — they are thinking, creating, and connecting with the stories in meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nDuring free choice time, these materials are a huge hit. Students gravitate toward them, collaborate with one another, and excitedly share their favorite parts of the stories. The combination of listening, reading, and hands-on exploration supports literacy skills while making learning joyful and memorable.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped us create an engaging, multi-sensory literacy experience that our students absolutely love. Thank you for investing in our readers and for helping us make our library a place where stories truly come alive.","fullyFundedDate":1750996504744,"projectUrl":"project/hands-on-reading/9419062/","projectTitle":"Hands-on Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Coffey","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7231518_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1716996784966","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7231518"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_2462","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":316,"numTeachers":27,"percentFrplEligible":78,"percentAsian":7,"percentBlack":20,"percentWhite":36,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":30,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"11.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":67.3,"schoolId":2462,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about South Newton Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"South Newton Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/north-carolina/newton-conover-city-sch-dist/south-newton-elementary-school/2462"}
