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

The third-grade inclusion class has worked hard during the past month. They have begun taking district assessments on their computers, which will help prepare them for state testing in the spring.

I'm looking for incentives and prizes to gift them when they have earned them by working hard during WIN (What I Need), small group, after testing in content areas, and from The Desk Fairy.

The students are excited when they receive little treats, and I'd like to continue rewarding them. They are working hard and deserve recognition.

These rewards and treats help to motivate them especially when they are not expecting them. It helps raise their morale.
