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

As I end this school year and prepare for the next coming year, I visualize a classroom which all students want to come to every day! Every year I see how students lose interest in school, and it is my goal to keep the spark going throughout the entire year. I ask for your help to help me restock my classroom with must haves supplies such as the bulletin paper, black light, and pencil sharpener and student prizes to help me keep my students interested and motivated. The use of black light to make math lessons to another level! A level up light to motivate my students to keep working towards their goals, rather than just hearing it from the teacher. Punch-Out card motivate students to a short-term goal such as reading, homework and attendance. Mario Level up theme decorations will help create a motivating experience for my students coming to their first STAAR tested grade. All of these supplies are with inspiring kids in mind. This will be their first year taking a state assessment and I want them to feel motivated and reduce the stress that this assessment comes up on everyone of us. In advance, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!
