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

Please help me give my students some healthy snacks as incentives to keep them motivated and determined to stay on task. By providing a wide variety of healthy snacks, I can use them as incentives for students to choose from in class. My students will be thrilled to get to choose from different healthy snacks and continue to learn in order to get their next treat.

I plan to incorporate food related activities into my lessons to increase student engagement.

Students love snacks and getting a healthy treat after reaching educational milestones will increase motivation. These nutritious snacks will serve as rewards for positive behavior in class.
