Lunar New Year for 2nd Grade

Help me give my students a chance to learn about the Lunar New Year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Richards's classroom raised $250

This project is fully funded

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

My students love to learn about holidays all around the world. We would love to learn about Lunar New Year and how it is celebrated all around the world. Books, decorations, and samples of fortune cookies and sweets will help my students to feel as though they understand the cultures that celebrate this wonderful holiday. i want to ensure we can transform our classroom into a wonderful celebration of Lunar New York for the entire duration of the time that it is celebrated by the Chinese culture. This will bring learning to a new level.
