If We Read, We Will Succeed in the New Year!

Help me give my students a variety of stuffed animals and fidgets to use as reading buddies while we celebrate learning throughout the Lunar New Year!

My Project

My students work hard to learn many different subjects. Their next unit will include cultural traditions from around the world.

We are getting ready for the year of the snake by learning about the Lunar New Year.

We will enjoy reading about the Lunar New Year. I would like to have plush stuffies of their favorite animal. They would be able to use the characters as reading buddies to practice reading. The stuffies will also be used to retell Lunar New Year stories.

I strive to make learning fun and engaging for all of my students.

I also find that my students are motivated and highly engaged when they are having fun in my classroom. The plush stuffed animal characters, fidgets, water and sweet motivational treats will be wonderful for my students. Thank you for your support!
