My Project

Our classroom is a tight-knit community in which we build trust and relationships to learn in a meaningful way together. We build our community and bridge individuals to make connections through the stories we share, books we read, and art we create. I respect each child for who they are and want my fourth graders to feel visible and valued. What better way to do this than by learning about celebrations around the globe?

The learning experiences we share through reading books together and creating art are what keeps us connected and give us a sense of togetherness as my students value their own identities as well as their classmates in our inclusive learning community!

Lunar New Year is upon us and to spark cultural curiosity and understand this holiday we'll read books about the traditions and share stories together as we connect as a community of learners. The books, Our Lunar New Year and The Tray of Togetherness, will open my students eyes to diverse characters and their experiences.

The Educational Resources on TPT are the perfect way to get engaging resources as well as support teachers who share their resources and save teachers like me time so we don't have to reinvent the wheel.

The snake fidget cubes and wiggly jointed snakes will be a fun way to slither our way into the Lunar New Year in a fun and festive way!

In the new year we aim to learn more about the cultural backgrounds of our classmates and members in our community to strengthen our inclusive classroom and engage all students in learning. We appreciate you supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion in our fourth grade classroom!
