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

As part of our classroom incentives, I give my students classroom "tokens". Students receive tokens for a variety of reasons such as demonstrating responsible behavior within the classroom. Most Fridays I open the store and allow students to shop for small prizes they can take home or keep in class.

Students are usually excited to collect their tokens.

At this point, most of the items at the store cost five tokens, but they will eventually have a variety of prices. This project will help me stock up the "store" and continue to allow students to work on their financial literacy. It is something my students look forward to so it is also a way to build a positive classroom community.
