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 Students

Students work hard and do many things everyday without complaint. They do their job as a student. A way I like to pay my student for their hard work is using my class treasure box. The little toys and items in there make their day.

My students come from low income families that are not able to provide little things to reward their children for their had work in and out of school.

My students work very hard in the classroom without complaint. Many of these students do not get rewarded or even acknowledged for their hard work or achievement.

My Project

I would like to reward my students for their hard work and achievement. In my classroom I do this using my treasure box. My treasure box is filled with little toys and things the students get to choose from as a reward. The students love to get a chance to get a prize out of the treasure box. I use the treasure boxes for many things. From reading rewards, behavior rewards, birthdays, and other various things. The materials I am asking for will help supply my treasure box. With the lack of funds currently at my school for materials, I need help filling my treasure box.

I need your help!

I need you to help me fill my treasure box and reward my students. Adults get rewarded for doing their job with a paycheck. Students are required to read, write, do math, and think as part of their job. I want to pay (reward) them for their hard work. If you are able to help me make the day for a hardworking students, please donate to my projects. Thank you for your time and consideration.
