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

My students need a variety of erasers as prizes to motivate their reading. I want to create an environment that supports my students. What better way to excite first graders than to create a learning environment that encourages students to achieve independently and increase their interest and love of reading. Erasers are small rewards that create a huge impact on their learning.

My students need a little motivation to achieve their goals.

Your help will ensure my students' success in their reading skills.

All children should have the opportunity to develop their love of reading!
