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

Help me reward my hard working students with a fun and useful school supply! My students come from low income families. Basic supplies are challenging to provide for many families. My goal is to encourage students to show their work, and do their best by providing an upgrade to a necessary school supply

When students meet expectations, they will earn a fun pencil to use for their school work.

Providing pencils not only gives students a necessary supply, but providing a fun reward pencil encourages them to continue working hard in class. It also encourages them to take care of the pencil, as they have had to earn it.

Prize pencils are a badge of honor in our classroom. Help me stock our prize box with useful school supplies.
