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 students in our class caring, and kind, hardworking. The students in our class go above and beyond to help one another and their teachers too.

In our class students are rewarded for a variety of reasons!

Each week students with complete homework get to choose a prize for their hard work. Also, students in our classrooms each have a specific job. Their "payment" or reward is to choose something from the prize box. Students with outstanding participation and good citizenship are also awarded rewards.

The items chosen meet the different needs of our diverse learners. Some of the items include sticky and squishy items, pencil topers, notepads, light-up rings, and fidget toys!
