We had a great week learning all about the celebration of Chinese New Year. As you can see above, we capped off the week with a festival of sorts, doing our own versions of dragon and ribbon dancing, as well as twirling and posing with some beautiful Chinese parasols. We learned that this holiday is celebrated in several Asian countries and also by many people in the U.S. We also learned that traditions include cleaning for the new year by sweeping out the bad luck, getting new haircuts and clothing, and children receiving money in red envelopes. I think we all had a great time, teachers included :)
