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 are so motivated to come to my reading intervention classes, because they can earn a treasure chest prize for collecting a sticker each day of attendance. They look forward to their “surprise” on every other Friday. I’ve been doing a Book Club with 2nd and 3rd graders after school, and they get to choose a prize for passing 3 reading comprehension quizzes. Some students even earn 2 prizes every time, but most earn one prize every time they come.

These prizes are motivating the students to try hard and focus on their reading.

I’m running low on prizes and would like to get some more of the popular prizes such as pop-its and squishy toys.

This project wouldn’t be possible without generous donors like you! Thank you so much for your consideration.
