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

Teaching 9 year olds requires constant motivation and prizes. Both the prizes and prize wheels will be used for that specific purpose. I bring in a lot of food items for motivation, however, I would like a healthier alternative for everyday motivation.

Organization is essential for our classroom to keep it running smoothly.

I am looking for ways to keep my students organized and storage bins are very much needed in our classroom. They would be put to good use organizing centers and journals. The sticker paper is needed to organize the journals.
