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 Students

I teach 3rd grade in a public school setting in Springfield. I have a diverse set of personalities who try their best each day. Their academic journey has been quite challenging due to COVID-19. They completed half of their 1st grade year at home, their 2nd grade year in front of a laptop.

Because this is their first full year in a classroom since Kindergarten, we are working on striving to follow classroom rules to build a sense of community.

Help this lively bunch on their positive behavior journey. I am humbly asking for items as prizes foRR790 - Soft Safe Tree Seats - Set of 3.

My Project

These items will be used for prizes as positive incentives for students. Students can earn a sticker for answering questions, doing the right thing, being ready with materials or helping others. Once students earn 30 stickers they can redeem them for a ticket. A ticket will reveal a prize such as special seating, a pencil with a fun eraser on top or another fun reward. Our classroom theme is camping so the woodland set of 3 soft stools will tie in nicely. Students will feel as if they are sitting at a campground.

As you know 8-9 year olds make plenty of written mistakes so erasers are essential.

Erasers seem to be a hot commodity so students will want to earn that as a prize. Students can take ownership of their behavior and in turn take ownership of their prizes that they themselves have earned.
