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

My students have been working on their learning all year long. They continue to strive for excellence. The boys and girls have been gaining progress in all areas of their learning.

Toy incentives are just one way to celebrate gains in learning.

The children have created projects and the time has come for the judging of their projects. Ribbons are just one way to celebrate a job well done.

The children are excited about their learning goals that have been meet or are about to be meet. The cute little incentives will give a little boost of appreciation for a job well done or growth in learning well achieved.

Your help with these fun toys and ribbons will ensure for a happier end of day learning.
