Celebrating 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
I work in a Title 1 school and have really sweet students. These kids are still reeling from COVID and lacking on stamina. Help me sweeten the work for them with incentives and prize box rewards they can work for and earn with increased independence and effort. I know they can do it.
All they need is more positive encouragement.
These prizes, rewards, hands on learning tools and classroom incentives will increase production from students and allow me time to spend with struggling students who need a little extra attention to be successful.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
