Chinese New Year in Year R

We have been learning about how people celebrate Chinese New Year. We have read a story called, "Ling-Ling's Adventure to China" and have learned some facts about China. We have been trying on traditional Chinese clothing, learning how to use chopsticks, looking at globes and maps to see how far China is from where we live, painting things that 'Ling-Ling' saw while in China and even doing dragon dancing! For our homework this week the children have been challenged to find out what year they were born in. Happy Chinese New Year from Year R!
