We had such a wonderful
time celebrating Chinese New Year in my classroom. I am so lucky to have parents who volunteered
to come and teach all about the Chinese traditions. We enjoyed making lanterns, flowers, listened
to a read aloud, and each student was given a gift bag. This gift bag included a red envelope for
money, and a snowflake. (Our guest even included one for my daughter) I was
excited I found out we both are the year of the sheep! Since the cycle is 12 years, and we are 24
years apart we share the same Zodiac sign! How exciting! We also heard the new years song. My students really enjoyed learning about
Chinese New Year!
