Special Event: Chinese New Year celebration

Gung hay fat choy!

We came to school wearing red, the lucky color of Chinese New Year. We cleaned up our school to ward off bad luck.



Then we sat down for a story with real photographs depicting how Chinese families celebrate the new year. We sang Chinese new year songs.


We tried "nien ko"-- Chinese New Year cake. Yum!




We also received little red envelopes filled with Chinese goodies.




We worked together, and with open-ended materials, used our imaginations to make a dragon head. Then we had a dragon dance!




During our dance, we played the gong, a percussion instrument.
