My Project

My students represent all corners of the globe and many are English Language Learners. My library celebrates the wonderful diversity of our schools community.

My students love to learn and celebrate all cultures.

A favorite is Lunar New Year including a Lion parade.

This project includes Lunar New Year decorations for our parade as well a wonderful books to help support their knowledge. Am also asking for supplies to teach the children about Chinese Jump Rope. I know this will be a wonderful activity for them. A great childhood game to get them active.
