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

The various items I am requesting for my students will help build a positive environment in my classroom. The treasure box prizes will help students who are making good choices know that their good choices are being noticed. I use treasure box prizes for students who are working together as a team. It helps build team work and strengthen our classroom community. The writing tablets create a fun way to learn how to write our letters, words, and numbers.

My goal for this project is to create a strong community within my classroom.

My students will work together with their classmates to earn prizes.

My students come to school every day eager to learn. They have made so much growth and try their very best. They are excited to come to school and are learning how to build a good bond with their peers.
