My Project

I would like to bring to my students and others a special holiday and tradition that a lot of Asians around the world celebrate every year, the Lunar New Year. The materials such as the Lunar New Year paint kits and New Year coins will help second graders take a closer look at some of the traditions such as the red packets, unique food and games.

I plan to explore, compare and contrast several cultures such as the Chinese, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and more using this holiday.

My class would use the owl ceramic painting kits to create their own plant pot in the process of learning and celebrating the Chinese New Year. As for the chocolate coins I'll put those in the red envelopes to give them to my students as part of the New Year's tradition to bring good luck to everyone. Happy Lunar New Year!
