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

The past few years have been challenging through navigating online learning, then hybrid and finally being back in person. To reward students hard work, perseverance and dedication to their learning we do a monthly raffle at our school. Students are entered based on the amount of points they earn through ClassDojo in their classroom each month.

With these materials, we will be able to give students awesome prizes that will brighten their day when they win them during our monthly raffle and for participating at our in-person assemblies!

Some of these prizes will include card games, board games, fidgets, pencils, eraser (desk pets), positive affirmation bracelets and more specifically for kids their age!
