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 my classroom get some much needed basic classroom supplies as well as some basic wellness supplies. Working at a title one school many of my students are hungry throughout the day. Having some snacks for them for afterschool will help their emotional wellbeing as well as help them stay focus on tutoring. No one can focus on an empty tummy!

The other supplies are basic classroom supplies like markers, pens, paper, and PBIS rewards.

After Covid student behaviors have developed but by giving students BPIS points to reinforce positive behaviors we can see behaviors improving!
