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

Help me give my students different items to create a better organized and more incentive classroom store and treasure chest.

My kids love saving up their classroom "money" to spend at Fun Friday, and it has always been a wonderful motivator for my students.

In our class, we open up Mrs. Kibbe's Camper Store on Fridays and students are able to spend money that they have saved up on new and exciting treasures. This project will provide my class with a bag to hold new treasures, as well as many new items for the students to purchase. They will be able to "purchase" these new and exciting treasures and that will be a major incentive for them.
