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

What do I love the most about my students? I love their willingness to learn! I am inspired every day by their perseverance and willingness to work hard in our classroom. My partner teacher and I try to build up students' motivation so they will be intrinsically motivated but also recognize positive choices with recognition and prizes.

All of my students are superstars in their own way!

My goal for this project is to recognize that this year and in the future. I am requesting incentives and prizes to refill the prize bin as well as a small photo printer and printing cartridges to create a wall of fame.
