Happy Year of the Dragon 2012

I am quite fortunate to have had several students over the years who celebrated Chinese New Year, and shared their family's traditions with our class.  It's really an interesting celebration--the dragons, the fireworks, the costumes, music, and dances.  I was really excited to break out the old Chinese New Year box for our home school celebration of Year of the Dragon.




We spent the day cleaning the house, making decorations, and preparing a Chinese New Year feast with symbolic food and everything!  We even surprised Daddy with "fireworks" (flashlights and streamers) when he got home from work.  Good fortune for the year to come!
