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

Many students benefit from fidget toys, snacks, and other small incentives to help them maintain focus and motivation throughout the day. In our classroom, students can earn snacks and fidget toys as positive reinforcement for completing tasks, following directions, and demonstrating good effort. These small rewards help support their learning by:

--Encouraging focus and task completion

--Providing sensory support through fidget toys

--Offering a snack incentive to help with attention

Students earn rewards through participation, effort, and positive behavior. The goal is to create a structured and supportive environment where they feel encouraged to do their best.
