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 am asking for you to help fund this project so that I can get a bunch of prizes to help extrinsically motivate students (for example: candies, stickers, other fun trinkets, etc.). I am also asking to help get this project funded so that I can have the proper supplies to truly create individual education plans for each of my students (whether they are identified special education students who receive an IEP or a general education student that just needs extra practice) so they can just grab their binder and headphones and get to work on practicing to achieve their own personal academic goals. The students also really love to do karaoke, and a speaker with a microphone would allow us to do karaoke when they have achieved their goals/completed all their work.
