Would you recommend this program to other school districts?
Yes
This was a wonderful activity for our students as it allowed for them to make connections with Chinese culture, as well as with their own.
Suggestions to artists for improvement:
We struggled on our end being in the library with the entire second grade - not the fault of the artist - listening to the Zoom but the artists were listening to us and waiting for our classes to quiet down. It isn't really a suggestion for improvement but I would just encourage them to keep that up! It was nice to feel that the artists were understanding of our struggle and working with us, not against us.
Please include any additional comments you care to make.
