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

Last year I started a new reward system in my class called All Stars. At the end of each class, I would pick two to four students who exhibited kindness to a classmate, went above and beyond in their work, were caught doing something good, helped in a way they normally wouldn’t, showed improvement, etc. The reward was the students would pick a sticker from a display that I had set up and a pre-made letter was sent home and I would check off the box of what made them an ALL STAR for the class so their families would know how proud I was of them in class. This new system worked amazingly. Only downfall was the amount of money being spent on these high-quality thermal stickers monthly to replenish in my class. The idea! Create my own stickers and that way I can customize them to my class and make them even more personal to our class community. A thermal label maker and thermal stickers is all I need to create these unique and personal one of kind All STAR stickers for my reward system in my class.
