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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My class is full of awesome and brilliant personalities, including students who have behavior, academic, and/or home challenges. These could prevent them from learning, but these students come to learn each day, no matter the chaos that may be happening at home or within themselves. That being said, sometimes we need extra motivation, especially when it comes to these big state tests!

This project provides tangible and fun prizes for those who show the most growth on their tests!

The prizes include a cool water bottle, slushy making cups, craft kits, and football gear! Students may want to just rush through those last few answers, but seeing these new toys and game prizes in the room may just give them the push to keep going!
