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

A gift card motivates students to work hard as it brings autonomy to each student. These gift cards to Amazon will be a special treat for them and will encourage others to try their best. My students are highly motivated by special experiences so being able to purchase their own book from Amazon is right up their alley. Help me support them and their social and emotional needs and healthy mindset.

I am requesting Amazon gift cards to motivate my students when they are reaching their daily, weekly, and monthly goals.

Students set goals and/or work towards mastery of skills for behaviors within our PBIS system to support a healthy mindset for ALL students. This project also supports are SEL and helps all students thrive personally and academically in their classroom environment.
