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

I have the most amazing students ever. They love to learn and do a wonderful job in class each and every day.

The materials, from this project, will be compiled to create a prize box.

Students who perform well every day of the week will earn a prize from the prize box. Likewise, students who return homework will receive an additional prize. This is vital in our community because parents are at work and students receive little help from home.

Being able to offer my students incentives will help keep them focused and participating every day This helps them want to come to school.
