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

I want to give my students access to treasure box items to reward desired classroom behavior. These treasure box items are positive reinforcements, and I want to use them to motivate my students in the classroom. Students who exhibit desired behavior and scholarly traits can choose from many fun objects for enjoyment if funded.

Some may argue that students shouldn't receive rewards for doing what is expected of them and following the rules should be intrinsic, but I'm afraid I have to disagree.

A person who is kind to others is rewarded by kindness offered back to them. These "rewards" can encourage students to continue to engage in positive behaviors. These toys, keychains, erasers, play dough, bubbles, squishy toys, and other treasure box items will increase the likelihood that my students will continue to be motivated to learn and exhibit positive behavior and scholarly traits. The smiles that the students express of how proud they feel is why I am asking for help. Thank you!
