School; 371K @ Telecommunications Project Title: Exploring Chinese Culture through Calligraphy and Global Studies Project Description |
Mini Grants and Awards 2015 - 2016 |
Tucked away in the botanical gardens of Snug Harbor in Staten Island is an authentic Chinese Scholar garden, built by native Chinese and replicating the gardens built in China during the Shang Dynasty (1300AD). Along with touring the beautiful grounds and admiring the architecture from a cultural standpoint, my students will be able to create beautiful brush calligraphy during a 90-minute lesson. Grant included a Class trip, plus lunch, and global studies with DVD. We added funds for classroom magazines. The teacher mentioned that, even though it is an art lesson, I believe this field trip will open the eyes of my students |
