March 2025 Specials Pandamonium
As a special area team (Art, Music, Mindfulness, Library, and PE) we decided to focus our learning on Giant Pandas. Since National Panda Day fell on Sunday, March 16th, we decided to do our week long unit in March 2025. Our focus for students during this learning unit is to learn more about pandas, spread awareness about giant pandas, promote the importance of protecting them from extinction, and play a positive role in the conservation of the species. Activities included poetry writing, panda fitness, Chinese calligraphy, panda pottery, panda breathing and meditation, rhythm and steady beat activities, song writing, and lots of reading and research. Students advertised, made commercials, and raised money to adopt a panda from Pandas International. Students raised more than $1200 for Pennies for Pandas.
