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 classroom implements Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS). Students earn PBIS points using the PBIS Rewards application for being respectful, showing integrity, being safe and having empathy to others. They can also earn points by coming to school on time and wearing standard attire. They earn points throughout the whole school (the Specials teachers, administration other teachers, etc. can give them points). The system promotes positive reinforcement instead of negative. Once points are earned, points cannot be subtracted. This creates a positive learning environment and increases effective social and emotional development. Students shop at the class store every Thursday using the points they receive. They can either redeem their points for a prize or save them to earn even a bigger one!

These rubber ducks, fidgets, smelly pencils, keychains, and springs will be great motivation for my students.

Ms. Russell.
