My students are actively using the brush, ink, and xuan paper to practice Chinese calligraphy and create traditional-style paintings. One special moment stood out: during our calligraphy session, the classroom became completely quiet. Students carefully dipped their brushes into the ink and slowly formed their characters. When they lifted their brushes, many paused and smiled—they were proud of what they had created.\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, students were excited, curious, and eager to try. Several students said it felt \"like being in ancient China,\" which led to meaningful conversations about history and tradition.\r\nWe are now moving into our next step: creating a cultural art showcase. Students are refining their characters, designing meaningful words such as 福 (good fortune) and 春 (spring), and using the Cricut Smart Vinyl to transfer their designs onto display boards and keepsakes. This project is helping them connect language, art, and cultural identity in a lasting way.\r\nYour generosity has truly transformed this lesson into an immersive cultural experience.
