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

Motivation is the key to success. We have many opportunities in our school for students to earn rewards and incentives.

Incentives help to drive my students' participation and motivate them to work towards goals.

My students are always eager to know if they earned a star for good behavior and countdown until they receive their next prize. Prizes can be earned for reaching specific goals, showing growth, good behavior, and making a positive impact. The items included in this project are intentional to what students are interested most in these days. Stress balls, pop fidgets, and play dough are just a few things that aim to earn.

It's my job as their Physologist to help students deal with their daily issues and help them feel seen. In our Title I school where our demographic is mostly African American and Latin American sometimes my classroom is the only place where they can come to unwind and feel heard.
