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 requesting funds to purchase student incentives, which will be used to motivate my students to excel academically and behaviorally. These incentives will include items such as; Stickers, small toys, and school supplies. These will be used as rewards for completing tasks, showing improvement, and exhibiting positive behavior.

These incentives; will be used to support our positive behavior system.

Students will earn Class Dojo points or paw passes (school money), for meeting classroom expectations, completing assignments, and demonstrating kindness among their peers and teachers. By rewarding their efforts, I hope to instill a strong sense of pride in their accomplishments and help them build self-confidence.
