Chinese New Year
Each year the Chinese celebrate the New Year. This year it starts on Feb. 7th. There is a 12 year cycle in which 12 different animals represent a year. This is the year of the rat. The students in Mrs. Andersen’s classroom read a book about the celebration, took notes, made the Chinese calendar and made dragons.
The Mandarin House also donated chop sticks and fortune cookies for each child. They had the experience of trying to eat noodles and rice from the restaurant.
