The second graders have been studying Early Asian Civilization. which covers India and China. For the final activity they made Dias (out of clay) which are lights used in the Diwali celebration. Mrs. Gibson, our STEM teacher, showed the students how to write in Chinese (Mandarin) using the characters that school age children are taught. She did a great job sharing her talents and supplies, which included a writing board and a calligraphy paint brush. The students used water on the boards and followed the design to learn simple words. At the end of the activity the kids all said that their hands and arms were tired!
