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 plan on using my requested materials to keep my wonderful students motivated. At their age, immediate positive reinforcement can go a long way. These little prizes such as gel pens, will encourage them to continue to participate and try their best in class.

Rewards can really help kids to stay on track and can certainly brighten their day!

These specific prizes help kids to stay interested in being active members of class. In my twenty two years of teaching experience, I have found that small affirmations for doing the right thing can encourage students to continue on the right path. My goals for this project are to reward students who continually make the positive choices in our learning environment. Please consider donating to my outstanding students!
