Lunar New Year Celebration

Help me give my students resources and snacks to celebrate the Lunar New Year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Almon's classroom raised $502

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

It's the Year of the Dragon for Chinese New Year.

My class is ready to learn about the Lunar New Year!

I am requesting resources and snacks to make the Lunar New Year fun and exciting for my First Grade students. They will make dragons out of air-drying clay and use the toy dragons to model their designs and creations. Students will learn about the Lunar New Year by reading aloud and receiving red envelopes. The students will enjoy the yummy treats!
