Chinese Cultural Center

When we got to the cultural center we sat in a circle and looked up. Students were asked to acknowledge a few different things that they noticed when they looked up. We then shared what we noticed in a sharing circle.  

 The building is modeled after the "Temple of Heaven" 

Located in the Chinese Cultural Center is a museum.We went and explored one area of the museum and looked at pictures and artifacts.
