My Project

The goal: students will learn and share the information they have acquired regarding the different celebrations, traditions, and holidays from students all around the world.

The requested materials will be utilized to complete projects reflecting the learning of the various cultures around the world, which includes those of the students attending our school.

The couch can be utilized as a peaceful place for students to take turns relaxing, reading, and sharing the information about the different celebrations, traditions, and cultures. Next, they wiĺl draw, paint pictures, and, or write an essay of their representations of what they learned.

Our students are special, because they may be exceptional learners, English Language Learners, or students whose families' origins are from all over the world.

Thank you for your support and donations! You make a difference in the learning of all students.
