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

These sensory items will be used to motivate students to earn, save, and reward themselves using their classroom dollars. As part of our new focus on Financial Literacy, my students will have the opportunity to earn, save and spend classroom dollars in our classroom store.

My 4th and 5th graders are absolutely obsessed with Pop Its and sensory stress relieving gadgets, so I chose items for our store that would motivate them to follow rules, show kindness, and study in order to earn classroom money and go shopping!

I can't wait to see their faces when they see all the fun items in our classroom store!
