Setting Up Success With Math Read Alouds

Help me give my students exciting books to help them make connections to important math concepts that we will learn throughout the school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Tompkins's classroom raised $561

This project is fully funded

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

There is nothing like an exciting story and engaging pictures to get our kindergarten students ready to learn new math concepts. These unique books offer a fun and educational way to connect our math learning to wonderful literature. Students will be able to explore shapes, telling time, counting, comparing, and more in a whole new way.

Your donation to this project will not only increase student achievement but also spark wonder and important conversations about math ideas.

Our class would be delighted to add these wonderful stories to our classroom!
