We had a great time learning about the Lunar New Year. My students loved the coloring books and kept trying to say the words in Chinese for the animals. The activity we did with the sugar cubes and chopsticks was a hit! The children showed grit and did not give up! They worked hard to learn how to use the chopsticks and to build a sugar wall. Some students teamed up and made a bigger wall. They were all so excited when I gave them baggies to take the sugar cubes home with their chopsticks. They said they were going to practice at home.","fullyFundedDate":1766092008196,"projectUrl":"project/celebrating-lunar-new-year/9963667/","projectTitle":"Celebrating Lunar New Year","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Molina","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp385392_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1452805452829","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/kmolina"},{"teacherId":385392,"projectId":9995442,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your amazing donations to our project.
