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

"The Lunar New Year presents a rich and authentic opportunity for learning. Teaching about different cultures goes much beyond introducing the food, language, and traditions. It is a natural moment for children to expand their thinking by examining culture."

We have some of the basics, but the cricut blades would help execute the project by precutting for the students (and a nice touch to create a decorative scene to submerse the learners in the project)!

We can build on the middle school math curriculum during the Lunar New Year, with one of the traditions to paste red papercuts on windows to scare away the Nian monster and bring good luck. Symmetry is very common in Chinese papercutting art as it is a symbol of the ideal, of happiness, and of hope. In this lesson students can enjoy a fun arts and crafts session while learning about reflectional symmetry and mathematical patterns.
