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

Using treats as an incentive in the classroom has several benefits. Our students also use iPads as incentives in the classroom but they are constantly losing their chargers. Food is a powerful motivator and gives students something to work towards. When students know that there is a tasty treat waiting for them as a reward for their efforts, they are more likely to be engaged and motivated to participate actively in their learning.

Snacks and the use of iPads are a great motivator and keep students eager to work towards their goal.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
