My Project

These materials will be used for Chinese classroom and Chinese culture club. Students learn the writing skills of Chinese calligraphy, Chinese paintings and Chinese lucky knots making. This makes more interest for students on learning Chinese language.

l like to have my students apply their Chinese Characters learnings on writing traditional spring couples decorations.

This will be practical and meaningful for my students learning the Chinese culture how Chinese people celebrate the Chinese New Year with Blessing words on calligraphy and paste decorations on their doors, windows, walls and everywhere.

Students will be so pound of their special Chinese skills.
