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 extremely lucky to work with students of all grades who are eager to learn and enjoy taking on new challenges each day. Our school is located in a low-income area, and all of our students receive free lunch.

My students work hard every day, and I would like to be able to reward them for their efforts to try their very best.

Having incentives such as scented stickers, book marks, and Playdoh is a great way to provide positive reinforcement in STEM Lab. There are different kinds of learners that visit my lab and having something tangible will motivate students. Positive incentives create a positive atmosphere in the classroom!

Thank you for your support.
