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

I am requesting rewards for my students to help keep them motivated to learn and encourage positive behavior. My students love earning rewards at the end of the week, especially after they have worked so hard.

Students require structure to learn, and without a structure for rewards, they will not learn how to earn rewards.

Students love earning an assortment of prizes for their hard work. With this project, I am asking for a variety of fidget toys, pens, and notepads. Your support would be greatly appreciated not only by me but my wonderful students.
