Gung Hay Fat Choy! It’s time for Chinese New Year—and a chance to learn about the cultural diversity of our community and world. The Chinese celebrate new year twice—once with the rest of the world on January 1st and a second time according to the Chinese tradition. Each Chinese New Year is represented by a different animal. In 2014 it’s the Year of the Horse—and people born in this year are expected to share the same qualities—independent, popular and fun! Firecrackers welcome new beginnings along with paper cut outs, dragon parades, gifts of money and plenty of red!

In this issue students will:

  • learn about Chinese New Year traditions
  • match objects
  • identify even/odd numbers
  • use the Chinese calendar
  • write fortunes
