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

This project will help supply my students with the writing utensils they need to succeed in the classroom. Additionally, it will help support their success by motivating them to do their best so they can earn incentives when they finish their work in class! My students come to school without something to write with and it slows down the learning time in the classroom. Also, throughout the day motivation may dip and prizes can help to keep the students going and make sure they do the best they can to learn everything they need throughout the school day.
