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

My ENL students work hard to obtain and maintain academic success in all that they do! They deserve to be rewarded and what better way but with some of their favorite snacks?

My little smarties would love to have treat incentives to help them stay motivated and satisfied!

While working in reading and math groups, doing peer assignments, or showing growth on their learning path, incentives will help let them know that their extra work is worth a sweet reward. Treats like cookies, candies, and more will give my munchkins the extra motivation to succeed in the completion of their learning paths and assignments.
