Help me give my students meaningful motivation and joyful learning experiences through fun incentives, personalized recognition, and tools that celebrate their hard work and academic success.
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
Help us bring joy, motivation, and meaningful learning experiences to our students! Our project is designed to create an engaging and supportive environment where students are recognized and rewarded for their efforts in reading, math, science, social studies, and English. With your support, we can provide fun, motivating incentives like stress balls, finger toys, gel pens, slime, cookies, and Skittles to celebrate their academic progress. When students meet their learning goals, they’ll also enjoy extra recess with a soccer ball and colorful chalk—simple but powerful ways to build community, celebrate effort, and encourage movement and play.
But the impact of your donation goes even further.
The laminating paper will preserve student achievements to be proudly shared with families at the end of the year, while the pocket chart and magnets will track progress with stickers that build a sense of pride and accountability. We'll use cardstock and lanyards to create personalized login badges, helping students independently access their learning platforms. Markers will bring our anchor charts to life, and shower caddies will serve as prize bins to keep everything organized and exciting. With your help, we can build a positive, goal-driven classroom where students are excited to learn and proud of their accomplishments. Every contribution—big or small—helps us create lasting moments of encouragement and success.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
