My Project

My student learn best and retain the information when they are able to listen to a story and then create a craft to showcase what they have learned. In order for my students to learn about the Lunar New Year, I am requesting a variety of construction paper in red, yellow and orange so students can construct a dragon. I also need liquid glue, tape and hot glue to help hold the items together. The Purell Sanitizing Wipes and Clorox wipe are a staple that we use in the classroom following breakfast, arts, crafts and snack in the afternoon.

This year, I have a Chinese family who have newly moved here from China.

Their child has been busy learning about American Culture and now I have an opportunity to share her culture with her friends! I am so excited to bring additional books and construction paper to our classroom to help construct various items including a Lantern and Dragon! I am also include a toy Chinese food set with chopsticks, so students will have an opportunity to see traditional Chinese food and chopsticks in action.

Lastly, I need a new hot glue gun to help hold the more complex crafts together. I will also need the tape to help hold items together as well. I am eager to create some fun learning experiences for my students! Lastly, I need the Hoberman Sphere to help students learn how to take deep breaths and relax their minds when they have to visit the calm down corner.

Thank you so much in advance for your support with bringing the Lunar New Year to my classroom!
