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

What I love most about my students is their enthusiasm, resilience, and how they always try their best, no matter the challenge. They are kind to one another, eager to learn, and excited to grow both academically and socially. To recognize their hard work and positive behavior, I want to give them a fun and meaningful reward—a Nintendo Switch and a few games. This resource will be used on Fun Fridays and as a motivational tool throughout the week. It will help build teamwork, encourage good choices, and create a joyful classroom environment where students feel celebrated.
