My Project

Year after year, my students struggle with certain math and science topics. I am always looking for engaging ways to connect them to math and science skills. One way that I always find students connecting to our math and science skills is through picture books. Sometimes I read the stories, and sometimes students read independently.

Picture books are a great way to reach the students!

Help me add to my classroom library and provide my students with new books that we can read! Help us make math and science more accessible!
