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

My students are curious, hardworking, and eager to learn. They come to school every day eager to learn but sometimes students need an extra push or reward that makes them look forward to ending the day strong! With the use of rewards like mystery toys, fidgets, slime, and more, students know what they can earn, not only through academic work but also through behavior!

The resources in this project will provide meaningful incentives that encourage positive behavior, perseverance, and academic achievement.

These incentives will also help create a classroom environment where effort and growth are valued. From pop-its to regulate emotions to keychains that helps them express who they are-when students know their hard work is noticed, they are more likely to remain engaged, take academic risks, and strive for continuous improvement. Your support will help make learning exciting while reinforcing the habits and behaviors that lead to lifelong success.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
