2021 Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month Projects

Driscoll School Mandarin teachers, Lan Wu and Wan Wang

Ms. Lan Wu, grade 4-8 Mandarin teacher, and Ms. Wan Wang K-4 Mandarin teacher invited all K-8 students to work on this project for the past two weeks with the help of parent volunteer, Marina.

​Middle school students used what they learned in Mandarin class to find out more information about these people and wrote introductions in Mandarin.

K-5 students cut their own hand shaped paper and wrote down their goals for a better community. We put a mirror in the middle because we believe students see themselves among these people! It is an empowering and meaningful learning experience for all of us. I hope you all enjoyed it!

​To continue the celebration of AAPI Heritage month,  Driscoll School  teachers, specialists and principals each read a couple of pages from Grace Lin's  2019 Caldecott Honor award winning book
                   ' A Big Mooncake by Little Star'.

This video project took Ms. Wan Wang two weeks to produce and create.
