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

We have a classroom store set up and ready for the new school year. We use our store for motivation to learn, as well as financial literacy. When a student participates often, they receive coins. They collect their coins in a personal wallet and save up for when they want to cash in for the reward. These candy items will be used as incentives for sale!

Participation is sweet!

What kid doesn't love candy?

Our classroom store also offers an opportunity for our students to learn about saving and spending. They collect coins and save up for the items that they would like to buy.
