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

As a first year teacher I still have a lot to learn. I have learned that my students are very motivated by the options of rewards.

Each item on this project will contribute to building the classroom system I dream of for them.

The brain flakes and Playdoh add an option for them during indoor recess. The snacks and candy and pencils will become a part of my DOJO store in my room. The ink will allow me to continue to print things in color. The flash lights will be for fun Friday reading time. I look forward to everything I will learn this year. Thank you for your support.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
