Our Chinese New Year Celebration!

Gung Hay Fat Choy!

     Today was our party to celebrate the start of the Chinese New Year! We wore our special hats to get in the festive spirit. These hats, like the one that Amaya is wearing, is typically made out of straw or bamboo and is often worn by workers to shield them from the sun and to keep them cool.

     For lunch we ordered in from Panda Express and our party began!

 

Each student got to order from a picture menu...

Then once we got the food, we all gathered together for our feast. It was so nice because we, staff and students, don't usually eat lunch all together as a large group!

Last night Ms Amy and I got together to make a special treat for the class. We made cupcakes to resemble popular chinese food- Chow Mein, Fried Rice, and the Fortune Cookie!

Lorenzo loved them!
