$303 goal

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Celebrating 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

The teachers pay teachers gift card will be used to align our current instruction with supplemental intervention materials. The materials will be great additional resources within our reading and math instruction. The slow rise stress balls, butterslime, and stickers will be used for incentives in our prize box to maintain engagement in our small group instruction. The prizes will be given to students as positive rewards for putting in their best effort during our small group sessions.

My students mean the world to me and I would love to provide them with all of the tools and resources necessary to succeed.
