First grade students at Portal Elementary expanded their cultural horizons this week through an immersive exploration of Lunar New Year traditions and celebrations. The educational initiative provided students with hands-on learning experiences about this significant cultural celebration.

As part of their studies, students engaged in various cultural activities, with a highlight being the creation of traditional paper lanterns. This artistic project allowed students to develop fine motor skills while learning about the symbolic importance of lanterns in Lunar New Year celebrations.

The cultural learning experience aligns with the district's commitment to providing students with diverse, multicultural educational opportunities. Through these activities, first graders gained valuable insights into different cultural traditions while developing appreciation for global celebrations.
