We learned that RED is the color of happiness and good luck.
We tried our hand at writing Chinese numbers and letters.
They are so fancy compared to ours.
We explored a few authentic Chinese artifacts.
We read many stories about Chinese New Year.
The children had fun setting up their own little Chinese restaurant
and enjoyed making egg rolls and eating with chopsticks.
One tradition we learned about was the LION DANCE.
It is performed in the
streets during the Chinese New Year.

A dragon dance is also performed during traditional
festivals, but has a much longer tail.
We had our own little dragon dance parade.

The children were fascinated with the dragon
because it was so beautiful and fancy.
We decided to create our own dragon for the
hallway bulletin board.
Each child designed a panel for the body of the dragon.
Then embellished it with a touch of 'fancy!'
Ta-Daaaaaa!
Gung Hey Fat Choy!
