Mrs. Montella Legend Elementary School
Newark, OH Grades PreK-2

We are a kindergarten class who loves learning about math! We are located in a suburban school district with a moderate level of poverty.

My students are loving learning about math, and they love reading! Our math program makes suggestions for ways to integrate literacy into math time, and we would love to have the resources to do it. My students need 54 childrens books on a variety of math topics to help support our math curriculum.

By exposing my kindergarteners to reading throughout the school day on a variety of subjects, I'm helping them become better readers. And these books support our math curriculum, which has the students excited about math. These books will help make math learning even more fun and easy for my students.

Your help on this project will ensure that my students have access to reading material that builds excitement as well as strengthening learning on something my students love - math!
