Celebrating 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.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
As a teacher in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. We currently have around 375 students that attend my school, and I see everyone as the health teacher. We have around 200 English Language Learners, and every day the number grows.
The majority of my students live in the three nearby housing developments and walk to school no matter what the weather is like.
All the students at my school receive free breakfast and lunch, and this is huge because for some of them, this is all they get to eat all day.
We currently have 26 students that are "homeless." They either live in shelters, bounce around the houses of friends or families or live at a local motel. The majority of our students have social-emotional challenges and a lot of trauma that they deal with every day which is really tough when trying to learn.
Despite the many challenges they face, I try every day to make sure my students receive a meaningful learning experience at school and in my class.
My Project
This school store will give our students a chance to open their own business. We will have to create hours, prices and track our sales. This will also give students a chance to spend their tickets that they have earned through PBIS and purchase the items. I have selected several small incentives such as bracelets, slime, pencils, pencil sharpeners, toy cars, and other items that they can buy. My students will be learning how to count their tickets and learn to save for something big they may want or spend it on something little. Students will run the store with supervision. They will be responsible for deciding pricing the items and selling them. Students will learn how to count the tickets or money and make necessary change if they need to.
Students will learn the importance of earning and saving money and tickets.
My students will earn tickets by completing homework assignments, daily work, good behavior or by having good attendance. Students will have a chance once a week to go to the store and shop around. It will be a great life lesson overall for all the students involved.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
