New Year, New Learning

Help me give my students an opportunity to learn about Lunar New Year and Year of the Rabbit, with read-aloud books, activities, and gifts the students can take home to share their learning with their families.

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

Lunar New Year is fast approaching. I look forward to enriching my amazing students' knowledge of other cultures, traditions, and celebrations from around the world with books, activities, and hands-on learning.

My students are curious and love learning about the world around them.

Lunar New Year allows me to introduce them to beautiful customs and traditions celebrated by so many people worldwide. My goal is to continue tapping into their love of learning, having fun, and being well-rounded people that appreciate the similarities and differences that we all share.
