Help me give my students motivation with engaging resources that inspire learning, encourage participation, and create a positive classroom environment for success!
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
Our school's team has been trying extremely hard to create a better and more positive environment for all of our students. We are currently working towards implementing a PBIS system in our school where we give our students "caught ya being good tickets" for being kind, safe, and responsible in school, which aligns with our school model. I have included various items in this project that will be used to supply our school's store where they will use their tickets in exchange for these prizes. We want to be able to give our students things that will inspire and encourage their creativity, which is why the items are things like art materials, crafting materials, and LEGOs. My school serves a low-income community, which means our students and families do not always have the means to have items like these. We want to reward our students by providing them positive incentives to help foster their creative and imaginative sides. I absolutely love our students for their resilience, creativity, and willingness to learn. They bring a unique energy to the classroom, making every day an adventure in discovery and growth. Each resource requested in this project is chosen with their needs and interests in mind, aiming to enhance their learning experience. Art materials, crafting supplies, and LEGOs are not just fun items; they are tools that encourage creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. These prizes will serve as tangible rewards for positive behavior, motivating students to strive for excellence and fostering an environment where kindness, safety, and responsibility are valued.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
