Building a Diverse Library and Math Skills

Help me give my students math manipulatives to grow number fact fluency and books to provide my students information about diversity.

  • This project is not currently eligible for funding.

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

The requested books will enable all students to see themselves, their cultures, and their backgrounds represented in our classroom library which will continue to fuel their love of reading. These books about diversity will also help to build empathy for people from all walks of life and will give students an opportunity to experience literature written by underrepresented authors. The requested math manipulatives will allow for hands on problem solving and provide multiple modalities for learning which makes math more fun and engaging and is especially helpful to students with unique learning needs or different learning styles.
