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

My students come from families that sometimes cannot provide what they want and only provide them with what they need. These prizes will be given for a variety of reasons. To earn a prize, students may have to reach a learning goal or maintain classroom expectations. Using a prize box can be a great motivator. It can also aid in making the classroom feel like a positive, welcoming environment.

Having these prizes would mean so much to them.

Many times, the prize box works as a motivational tool. When students see something in the prize box that they want, students may instantly decide to do whatever it takes to be rewarded with that item. The bins would be used to store all of the prizes so they have a place to "shop". There is persistence in getting that prize. The prize becomes a tangible validation of the child's learning. This can help the child gain an interest in his or her learning as well. This project also includes tissues for their little noses and fabric to keep the area neat and inviting, as well as a mirror for our affirmation station..
