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 teach some of the most dedicated, kind and resilient 4th grade students. They have overcome a lot in their short time in school, including a pandemic that took away two years of a "normal" education. I have noticed that since returning to school, my students need more reminders to remain focused and on task.

Even adults need a little bit of motivation sometimes!

With your help, I would like to purchase animal erasers and other miniature items that will serve as "desk pets". Each week students have the opportunity to earn a desk pet by following school and classroom expectations. When they follow expectations, like transitioning quickly and quietly, giving their best effort on work, walking calmly in the hallways, they will earn Dojo points. At the end of the week they can use their points to buy a desk pet!

With the project, I hope to implement an engaging behavior management system in my classroom. Thank you!
