Chinese New Year

This week, we learned all about the Chinese New Year. Mrs. Andaloro shared some really great books that taught us many new things about the Chinese culture. Our kiddos couldn't get enough!! With any free time they had throughout the week, I would find them in our book nook checking out some of these awesome books.




At the end of the week, kinders shared two things they learned about the Chinese New Year with the class. Kyah shared that she learned friends and family give red envelopes filled with money. They use the color red because it symbolizes good luck. She also shared that her favorite part of the Chinese New Year is the dragon in the New Year parade. Just like the color red, the dragon also is thought to bring good luck.

Check out Kyah's wonderful illustrations.

Sorry for the sideways picture--no matter what I did, I couldn't get the picture to turn :(


Happy 6th birthday, Brady!!
