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

The students in my 5th grade class have a special love for reading and origami. Books and activities in this project are focused on cultures and celebrations, specifically the Lunar/Chinese New Year. My students love to learn about and celebrate all different holidays that are special around the world, these books will allow me to teach about different cultures and holidays as well as the art of origami. My students are especially excited to learn about the Lunar New Year because they are interested in the Chinese zodiacs.

My goal is to incorporate books that they are interested in in order to teach my students about different cultures around the world.

As the Lunar New Year is approaching, the books in this project allow me to do that.

The materials in this project will ensure that my students are learning about different cultures and celebrations. The water bottles are also essential for the new year in order to reduce waste and keep my students hydrated and "green" in the classroom.
