This week we have talked a little about Chinese New Year. 2009 is The Year of the Ox.
We watched a small clip on our SMARTBoard about this "Spring festival."
We got festive and made our own ox banners, Chinese lanterns and dragons!
Ask your kiddo which color is very popular to wear when ushering in the Chinese New Year. (The color is Red).
Also ask what would be in the "hongbao," or red envelopes given to family and friends (especially the youngsters) as a symbol of luck and wealth. (They contain money).
I hope the year of the Ox will be a great one for us all!
Kung Hei Fat Choy!
