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 ending my current school year in less than 20 days. We have had an amazing year with many trips to the treasure box for rewards.

I would like to replenish my treasure box to begin next year, so I can offer my new students a fresh batch of prizes.

My students work extremely hard to earn their daily tickets for a Friday trip to the treasure box. When introducing the treasure box to my new friends, I want them to be excited to be in first grade and doing their best!
