Send the little deer cards to each classroom

At first, we wanted to give the knitting works we learned to our teachers on Teacher's Day to express our gratitude to them.

But the little straw hat charm was too difficult. So we changed to learning how to make coasters. Use rush, a natural and water-absorbent material, to make absorbent coasters. The absorbent coasters represent that teachers always silently support students' growth behind the scenes, and express students' gratitude and feedback to teachers.

Finally, because Teacher's Day was coming soon after school started and we had limited time for the production, we discussed and decided to learn how to make a deer instead. The deer represents fortune, wealth and longevity, and I wish the teacher good health.

We also creatively used environmentally friendly paper to make deer, and combined them with Teacher's Day cards, hoping to give them to the nearly 150 faculty and staff in the school to thank them for their usual care and concern for the students.

The teachers were all happy to receive the cards and expressed their concern about our research topic. We also took the time to introduce it to our teachers and learn about the legend of Cypress Straw Hat in Lukang.

From straw hat pendants to coasters, we finally decided on the deer weaving for Teacher's Day.
Everyone knitted at least 20 little deer, and I felt a sense of accomplishment.
Deer represent the auspicious meaning of blessing with fortune, wealth and longevity.
Although we cannot fully learn the traditional weaving technique of straw hats, we can let more people know about Lukang Cypress Straw Hat through promotion.
