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

As a teacher, I am always looking for ways to motivate and inspire my students. One of the most effective ways we have found to encourage positive behavior, effort, and academic success is through our classroom store, where students can earn "classroom currency" for displaying good behavior, completing assignments, and reaching academic milestones. However, in order to keep students engaged and excited about earning rewards, we need high-ticket prizes that will truly motivate them.

With your support, we hope to provide a variety of exciting and valuable prizes that will keep our students motivated throughout the school year.

These prizes will include: fun and colorful keyboards, gadgets, toys, coloring books, lego sets and fidgets.

These high-value prizes will not only motivate students to continue putting forth their best effort but will also provide opportunities for them to learn new skills, explore new hobbies, and take pride in their achievements. By earning these items, students will develop a sense of responsibility and pride in their academic and behavioral successes.

Your generosity will directly impact student engagement, foster a positive classroom environment, and help create lasting memories that will inspire them to continue striving for excellence.

Thank you for considering a donation to our classroom store. Your support will truly make a difference in the lives of our students!
