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

Let's be honest, we all work better when we know some sort of incentive is involved. Kids are no different. That is why a teacher must have a prize box.

Help me reward my students!

During my 17 years of teaching, I have learned that kids will do just about anything to earn some type of reward!

While these squishies, pens, and croc charms may not seem exciting to you, students cannot get enough of them. With this DonorsChoose project, I will get a jump on replenishing my prize box for next school year. Happy students equals happy teachers!
