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

My students are amazing and very eager to learn new things. But sometimes they need that extra push to keep them motivated. That's where tangible prizes come into play.

Having prizes and a snack.

A squishy, fidgets, and a snack for the students to earn will help my students stay focused and motivated. We use pax paws in class. The teachers give it to the kids every day when they see that they are being pax quiet, pax voice, pax hands-feet, pax line, and pax leader. The more they get they can get prizes and snacks that are a motivation for them.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
