The Chinese Dragon Boat Festival

We just completed our Unit on the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival!!!  It was great to see all the teamwork going on at the school.  It can really be challenging for students to learn to work together sometimes, so I really think it is important to give them opportunities to learn and practice a skill that will be used throughout life. 
Students had to first design their dragon boat.

There were a lot of great idea that came out on paper.

Next, students had to actually put their boats together.

It was a team effort where different students had different jobs.

Everyone took a lot of pride in the final products,

In the end we put the teamwork into practice with wooden plank races.

    Looks like an awesome event! I teach Chinese as well. How can I find out the details? I'd love to see if I could implement this in the upcoming school year. By the way, looks like you're doing an awesome job with your classes! Jia You!
