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

We will be celebrating the Lunar New Year and I am currently an art teacher who will be using the model magic to create the Chinese zodiac animals. My school is located in an area where there is a population of Asian students who celebrate the Lunar New Year.

We will create the 12 Chinese animals by creating 3D objects that we will also paint to bring it to life.

I would also like to give out the red envelopes with a special message of hope and kindness.

Gung Hay Fat Choy!
