My Project

I absolutely love how curious, creative, and resilient my students are. My students have special needs, and they thrive with learning tools that meet the where they are. they benefit from books that are engaging, accessible, and connected to real-life concepts. That's why this donation of math-themed books means so much to us.

These math-themed books will help bring number, patterns, and problem-solving to life through stories they can relate to.

Whether it's about famous mathematicians who overcame obstacles, or discovering how math is used in everyday life, these books will show them that math isn't just about number-it's about thinking, solving, exploring, and imagining.
