We studied and learned about the Japanese culture with the amazing books and Lego sets. Sadly, we only had time to build a couple of the sets, but the good news is we will have a couple to build next year. The Himeji Castle set is amazing and the students enjoyed looking at it and seeing how different Japanese building can be. The Great wave art is fascinating and the students loved learning the history behind Japanese art. I look forward to implementing these Lego sets moire next year as well as leaning more about the Japanese culture in the libray.\r\n\r\nMahalo Nui!","fullyFundedDate":1771666143475,"projectUrl":"project/japanese-culture-children-books-and-leg/10107612/","projectTitle":"Japanese Culture: Children Books and Lego Exploration.","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Tamayo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-9_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2084297"},{"teacherId":2079550,"projectId":10111614,"letterContent":"Mahalo for your generous donations towards my classroom.

I have students work with partners to read the books on their own when I work with small groups for specialized English language arts and math instruction.\r\n\r\nThe books on animals and habitats are especially popular and useful. I had one student who didn't know what a coral reef was until he borrowed a book from this donation.
