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

Thought the school year, many supplies and materials get depleted. The items that I'm requesting are items that I will need in order to make the beginning of the school year successful.

Incentives such as prizes serve as positive reinforcement.

They also increase motivation and boost students' self-esteem and confidence.

The markers and journals are both used together during writing. They draw pictures and write about them. The prizes are used as motivation. This is especially important at the beginning of the school year when students' motivation in order to stay on task.
