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

Rewards systems are beneficial when overcoming challenging behaviors.

In class, we current utilize a reward system where students can earn raffle tickets for good behavior, citizenship and going above and beyond to help others in our classroom.

I hold a raffle at the end of each month where students are given the opportunity to drop their raffle tickets into a bucket for a chance to win.

I am looking to add additional items into our prize basket to help entice students to continue the positive behaviors in the 2023-2024 school year. While I have purchased prizes in the past, our prize basket is shrinking, our supply is depleting and I am unable to obtain donations for the prizes.
