Your support has transformed our classroom into a space where curiosity is encouraged and students feel empowered to ask questions, share ideas, and celebrate traditions from around the world.\r\n\r\nThrough this project, students are actively learning using Edpuzzle and Kahoot instead of passively watching or listening. For example, while watching short Edpuzzle videos, students pause to answer questions about zodiac animals, lanterns, and family customs, helping them build vocabulary and deepen understanding. During Kahoot games, students apply what they have learned by answering questions together, cheering each other on, and learning from mistakes in a fun, supportive way. My students enjoy the visual support and ask more questions about information they learned from the videos. The reflection wall has become a favorite part of the project, where students use chalk to record new facts, share favorite traditions, and post questions that spark rich classroom discussions. Sometimes students stand in front of the wall and discuss facts they noticed. \r\n\r\nYour support is helping students strengthen listening comprehension, reading skills, critical thinking, and cultural awareness, all while building confidence and joy in learning. We are truly grateful for your kindness and belief in our students, and we look forward to sharing even more examples of their growth and discoveries as this project continues.

The resources are also perfect for giving students a spark, whether it is a quick snack before math or something to help them refocus during afternoon reading. One student shared, \"I like when we have snacks because my tummy doesn't growl when I read.\" We are so thankful for clean, functional computer mice. They are making digital learning more comfortable and efficient, while bags and t shirts give students practical items they can use both at school and at home, helping them feel supported, cared for, and included.\r\n\r\nYour donation of hand sanitizer and Kleenex has also made a meaningful difference in keeping our classroom healthy. Students are learning the importance of hygiene while having easy access to supplies that reduce the spread of germs.

We read stories about Lunar New Year and worked together to compare it with U.S. New Year traditions, discussing similarities such as celebrations and fresh starts, as well as differences like foods, symbols, and customs.
