CHINESE NEW YEAR!!

CHINESE NEW YEAR!
 
 
For the week of February 19 - 26, our class learned about different traditions celebrated during Chinese New Year. Some things we learned about were: the Chinese Zodiac and that it was the Year of the Sheep/Goat, the colour red is used for Good Luck, children receive red envelopes with money to bring good fortune (we even made our own and received chocolate coins!), there are many parades to celebrate. We watched several Chinese New Year Parades on the computer and studied the many different moves they used to dance. Every parade has many dragons as they are meant to chase all bad luck away for the New Year. We made our own dragon masks and spent some time in our learning commons, practicing moving like the dragons we saw in the parades on the computer.


 
Our students designed their own Chinese New Year Dragon from our blocks!
