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

Who says math and English language arts don't go hand in hand? We want to give our students the opportunity to participate in the first annual Mathical Powers of Ten Readathon. In order to do that, we need our students to have access to the books on the Mathical book list, which were selected by a wide variety of experts, including language arts and math teachers, librarians, early childhood experts, and more. Our first DonorsChoose project got us some of the books on the Mathical list. Our goal is to continue collecting a wide range of these math stories at various reading levels and languages to meet the needs of our beautifully diverse population. Your donation would add these Mathical books to our school library--more access to math stories for more students!

This project is about developing a love for reading AND a joy for math in our students.

Stories open the world to our students, allowing them to make connections to math and showing them that they, too, are mathematicians. Literacy AND numeracy are both important for our students' success. When you contribute to this project, you are contributing to a better future for our students.
