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

We have the most epic classroom store where students go shopping to spend their hard-earned classroom bucks, and I need more epic items to start the upcoming school year.

Positive reinforcement through a classroom economy system is vital for motivating students to take every opportunity for growth and improvement, whether it be academic or socio-emotional.

Having a classroom economy system is one of the best systems I have ever implemented, which really motivates students to do their best. The items I am requesting to purchase are of high interest and highly desirable, causing my students to want to earn as many classroom bucks as possible to purchase them.

We have fun in class, all the while learning and building our intrinsic motivation, seeing as students learn to have self-discipline and budget their money, having to save up for the items that cost a little more. Thank you in advance for your generosity and for partnering with me in providing these items for my students.
