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

Students can be motivated by using rewards and prizes in exchange for their efforts, so I want to use this to help our environment.

Students will get a small reward or prize in exchange for using my recycling bin!

This project will reward students when they use my recycling bins by getting 1 small reward or prize including keychains, shoe charms, bookmarks, stress balls, or other prize items in exchange. This will allow students an opportunity to participate in environmentally relevant experiences and help them understand how to take care of the Earth. One step at a time, little by little this will lead them towards bigger actions and it's a great way to instill character traits like kindness and love for our planet.

Mr. De La Pena
Grades 6-8
