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 pleasure of teaching an awesome group of 5th graders. These 5th graders are hardworking students that sometimes need a bit of motivation to be at their best and also need to be recognized when they are at their best. We are requesting a button maker and button parts.

When students get to design and create their own rewards, they will get a feel of accomplishment and empowerment.

This will empower them to be more motivated in the classroom . It will motivate them to be at their best and strive to be their best in the classroom both in academics and in behavior. This button badge maker will make the ideal reward and motivator.
