Help Ms. Barrilleaux

I am a fourth grade math, science, and social studies teacher at Little Oak Middle School in Slidell, Louisiana. I am teaching math for the first time in 12 years. In our parish we are required to follow a guaranteed curriculum. There are many benefits to this, but as I teach I am finding that many of the extras that are suggested aren't available. Many times while teaching a math concept certain books are suggested as supplementary reading material. They reinforce the skills being taught. There are also suggested activities that accompany them. Recently I ran across a classroom library containing many of the books suggested. It is made available through Scholastic Book Clubs and is called the Marilyn Burns Classroom Math Library, Grades 4-6. The students don't seem to realize that they are actually learning while enjoying having the book read to them. They just know that they are getting a break from the usual worksheet or textbook. There are activities that coincide with each book, but the students don't seem to mind completing them. To them it's part of the fun. I would love to be able to purchase these books with my own funds, but funds just aren't available at this time. Please help me to give my students well-rounded math experiences. Thank you.
