Am I biased if I tell you I have the cutest kids ever? The smartest and most eager learners too? It's really true though! I teach first grade in Brooklyn, to a largely ESL and immigrant population. We are a large school, with 9 first grade classes!

Because my school is so large, resources are pretty scarce and shared among the classrooms. Our math program gets stronger every year, as we teachers learn better ways to teach our kids. One thing we have learned is that math themed story books help the children connect math to their lives in a fun way.

When I heard about the MathStart books I could hardly wait to write this proposal. These cute, child friendly books cover everything I teach! Examples of book themes include odd and even numbers, counting in different ways, greater than and less than, fractions, and measurement. The books feature kids and animal characters. The children will just love them!

I am passionate about teaching math- mostly because I had difficulty with this subject growing up. I think if I had access to fun and relatable resources like these books, I would have had a different attitude about math. My dream for my students is that they all feel capable in math and truly enjoy the math period each day.
