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

Please help me have additional needed supplies for our classroom and also items for my students to have in their treasure box for rewards.

My campus is a low socio-economic campus and I have a behavioral system that allows my students to earn rewards in the classroom for good behavior.

Research shows that good behavior in the classroom can lead to better grades. When students work hard to stay focused and are excited to learn, this leads to more success. I try to reward my students as much as I can for both hard work and good behavior.
