My Project

It's the Year of the Dragon! Let us explore "Lunar New Year” with enjoyable books that celebrate Chinese culture.

These items will help us learn how this important holiday is celebrated.

We will enjoy Chinese fairy tales and fictional stories while we explore the Lunar New Year through the adventures of these beloved characters. Children will be able to listen to the books together and re-read over and over to build fluency. These items will also help expand our culturally diverse library, enabling students to share their favorite Lunar New Year stories with friends and family!

Thank you for enabling us to share the joys of the Year of the Dragon, Lunar New Year!
