My Project

As we prepare to dive into a fun and educational unit on Lunar New Year, our classroom is in need of some basic supplies to ensure that my students have everything they need to engage in this exciting cultural study. We aim to teach our students about the history, traditions, and customs of Lunar New Year, and I want them to have the right tools to succeed in their learning and creativity. I am requesting pencil pouches, markers and colored pencils.

These materials are essential for our daily classroom activities and our special Lunar New Year unit.

These basic supplies will empower students to fully engage in learning about Lunar New Year through a mix of research, writing, and creative projects. As part of the unit, students will learn about the symbolism behind the zodiac animals, the importance of family reunions, and the various customs associated with this celebration. With these supplies, they’ll be able to document their learning, create beautiful projects, and take pride in their work.
