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

For this project, we are requesting mechanical pencils, Dr. Seuss pencils, and pens. These items are used for class prizes. The students love earning them as part of their PBIS rewards. They can earn class Dojo points for supporting other students, turning in work, or going above and beyond. We are a PBIS school, but the school prizes are never stocked so I try my best to make sure the class store is stocked for them.

These are fun materials that the students can use in their everyday setting.

Students love using these and have asked repeatedly if these can be re-added to the class store.

Thank you for supporting our classroom!
