Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My students work extremely hard in math class. Even though I only teach math, I do have a reading nook. Students can sit here and read when time allows. I am trying to build my classroom library to include books with a math theme.

Students ask why they need to know how to do math all the time.

By providing them with books that have a math theme, they can see how much math is utilized in our day to day lives. The books I am requesting will help students understand why math is so important.
