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

Our school has been focusing on reading growth this year in our grade level. We have a new program that the kids are extremely excited about and have been working on. The program focusing on each student's needs and challenges.

These prizes will help motivate my students to finish their individualized lessons and show growth by the middle of the year.

The prizes chosen are specific to what the my students are interested in right now. Students enjoy creating friendship bracelets and showing off their creativity. Other students are excited about legos and pokemon cards. Each student is excited about the idea of these BIG prizes to help them finish each of their lessons.
