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

I am requesting items that will help my students learn all about Chinese New Year and Chinese culture. These items will be used to create an area where my students can learn all about Chinese traditions and customs. I intend to change my dramatic play area and display different types of Chinese items so my students can learn while they play.

My goal is to teach my students about Chinese New Year, but more importantly, about Chinese culture.

Our world is filled with amazing people, and my students must learn at an early age that diversity is what makes our planet better.
