My Project

Our class loves to learn about each other cultures and their holidays! Most of our friends in class celebrate TET, the Vietnamese New Year. To guide them in learning about their classmates, we will read the story "TET Together" to discuss traditions during this time. At the end of this month, we will be learning about and celebrating Lunar New Year.

Please provide my class with some Year-of-the-Snake books and activities so we can celebrate Lunar New Year together.

The students will have so much fun taking part in this exciting time, while being able to participate in traditions and activities! I know they will be engaged and excited to learn about the Year of the Snake with these fun activities.
