Celebrate Kwanzaa with your fourth grader, or introduce them to a new cultural practice, by showing them how to weave a Kwanzaa mat out of an ordinary paper bag!
Kwanzaa is a celebration of life rooted in African culture, observed from December 26-January 1. Through the engaging Kwanzaa resources you’ll find here, your students can learn about and celebrate the seven principles of Kwanzaa: unity, self-determination, collective responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith.
