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

Students often don't get started because they have lost their work, don't have a pencil, or don't feel motivated. I aim to provide tools to get students over these bumps.

When creating projects, students feel their work is more valued when they can use Sharpie-defining markers.

Also, I use Play-Doh to inspire writing in our class. I reward students with a raffle every Friday to have positive reinforcement in my classroom. This is the highlight of many students' days. Raffle prizes range from sweets to salty treats. Having different options makes it more desirable to win.

Please help me motivate students who sometimes need a little boost!
