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

Welcome to our classroom's own little shopping paradise, the Melgar Store! Here's how it works: throughout the week, students earn 'Melgar Bucks' by completing homework, doing classroom jobs, and more. It's like earning a paycheck for their hard work! Then, on Tuesdays and Thursdays during lunchtime, the Melgar Store opens its doors, stocked with all sorts of cool goodies and classroom supplies.

Students can use their hard-earned Melgar Bucks to buy whatever catches their eye, whether it's a fun new pencil, a fancy eraser, or even a tasty snack!

It's a great way for them to learn about saving, spending wisely, and enjoying the rewards of their efforts. Plus, it's a lot of fun to shop and see what treasures they can find. So, get ready to shop 'til you drop at the Melgar Store!
