Help support Mrs. Smith's Classroom

Recently I’ve completed a program in which I’ve been trained to connect math and literacy in order to promote interdisciplinary learning. The supplies I need would benefit my students in achieving the goals set forth by presenting them with stories and activities that would allow them to form text-to-world connections. Students will be encouraged to read these books on a daily basis as they will be made available in our class library. The ultimate goal is for students to develop proficiency in reading and math literacy in preparation to pursue higher educational goals in subjects such as financial literacy. In addition, students will be tasked to use the interactive math in cooperative groups to develop community in learning. I have trial used literature in my class to teach Math. I find that the students are more engaged and excited to face the math challenges I throw out to them, because the words give life to the numbers, transforming the abstract into the concrete. Unfortunately, much to my dismay, there is great disparity between the resources of my classroom and those of affluent districts. My classroom is lacking in math literature which limits the progress of my students. My students do not have the opportunity to fully experience math through literature, but I am hoping that this project is funded and my students can experience the endless opportunities that await them.
