This week we're learning about...

Chinese New Year!
This year the Chinese New Year begins on February 3rd! This week we will be learning all about the traditions that go along with celebrating this holiday. Today we read all about the Chinese New Year, found out what Chinese Zodiac animal we were, and began making a dragon mask.
Here is Amaya ready to celebrate!
Lorenzo is completing his Chinese zodiac profile. He was born in the year of the Rabbit which happens to also be the animal of 2011! Rabbits are compassionate, friendly, and creative.

We will be learning lots more about the Chinese New Year as the week progresses!

  1. Miss B, I work in a self-contained special ed classroom in a middle school in Maryland. I came across your website and cannot believe how unbelievably similar our classrooms are! We do many of the same activities! I was wondering if you guys might want to be pen pals with us? We could send Boardmaker letters to each other's classes! If you are interested, please email me at egrunden@wcboe.org. Thanks :) Hope to hear from you soon!
