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

Our STEM lab needs a variety of prizes to fill our treasure chest, which will be used to reward good behavior. Recognizing and reinforcing positive behavior is essential for creating an engaging and productive learning environment.

My students are enthusiastic learners, and this treasure chest will serve as a motivational tool to encourage them to demonstrate respect, responsibility, and teamwork.

By providing exciting prizes, I aim to foster a positive classroom culture and reinforce the importance of good behavior. The prizes will include items such as STEM-related gadgets, fun educational games, stickers, and small toys that align with our curriculum.

Your support will help us create a treasure chest that not only motivates students but also enhances their learning experience. Thank you for helping us build a supportive and encouraging environment in our STEM lab!
