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 am seeking your support to create an exciting and motivating class store that will reward my students for their positive behavior and hard work. Our classroom is a place of learning and growth, and I believe that incentivizing good behavior will not only enhance our learning environment but also foster a sense of community and excitement among my students.

Students thrive when they feel recognized and rewarded for their efforts.

By implementing a classroom store filled with exciting toys, fun supplies, and tasty treats, I aim to motivate my students to engage in positive behaviors and contribute to a supportive classroom atmosphere. The excitement of being able to “purchase” rewards with our class points they earn through good behavior will encourage them to strive for excellence in their academic and social interactions.

The funds raised will directly contribute to purchasing these items, allowing students to experience the thrill of earning rewards while learning the importance of responsibility and good behavior. I will additionally be able to purchase resources on Teachers Pay Teachers to decorate our class store and post engaging visuals detailing out classroom expectations.

Thank you for considering supporting our classroom initiative! Together, we can create an engaging and motivating environment where students are eager to learn and succeed.
