Chinese New Year: Enhancing Student Understanding

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Li's classroom raised $530

My Project

The chosen materials, including books on Chinese New Year, Chinese Lego projects, and Chinese decorations, are integral to expanding the depth of our students' understanding of Chinese culture. By immersing them in literature, hands-on projects, and visual elements, we aim to create a multi-sensory learning experience that goes beyond traditional classroom approaches. These resources will not only promote cultural appreciation but also foster global awareness and creativity. Our overarching goal is to cultivate a well-rounded perspective, nurturing an environment where students celebrate diversity. Their special qualities lie in their openness to different perspectives, making this project a catalyst for promoting inclusivity and understanding.
