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 students are the sweetest and most hard-working students. They love to learn and follow the rules even when adults are not watching them. I always buy my prizes to add to the prize box. To reward my students, they get to choose from the prize box once a week.

With these materials, I can continue to reward the most delightful and hard-working students week after week.

My students love the perks of being rewarded for their successes, and I have seen that this classroom management system helps my students stay focused and work to the best of their ability every day. They look forward to the Best Prize Cart at the end of the week.
