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

Hello, I would like to create an incentive for students to come to school each day. They will come to school and each Friday and will check off their day if they completed a whole week of instruction. Student will use a sticker chart on the wall. I hope this will motivate them to come to school and improve their attendance and learning.

Our students are amazing and come from all over the city.

Many come form impovarished areas and ride the bus for hours to come to our school for a better education and opportunity.

The incentives will be for students who have have chronic attendance. They will receive incentives to improve their attendance and come to school each day. Thanks.
