Chinese New Year




Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year!  Chinese New Year is the most important of the traditional Chinese  holidays!  This year is the year of the Rabbit.  Our students will enjoy a powerpoint presentation tomorrow which was created by some of our students.  We also have our front showcase and hallway decorated with various Chinese paintings and artifacts.  I hope you will ask your child to tell you what they learned about Chinese New Year.  Here are a few facts from the powerpoint.

Some activities include:

  • Dragon dance parade; lantern festival; new year TV gala show; visiting friends and relatives

Some of the traditional food includes:
  • Jiaozi (dumpling), Niangao (sticky rice), fish, meats, sweets.
Some of the decorations include:
  • Red color brings luck, fortune, and wealth. Paper cuttings, lanterns, and couplets.
