Thursday February 19th was Asian New Year and we had a great time celebrating here at school. We learned a lot about how it is celebrated and the customs surrounding it. We learned a song, watched a dragon dance, ate noodles with 'chopsticks', discovered our fortunes in fortune cookies, and made lanterns, fans and dragon puppets. This is the 'Year of the Goat'. Mrs. Nilo celebrates this holiday, perhaps some of our families do as well.
It is always fun and beneficial to learn about other cultures. We are not all the same and that's o.k.! This helps to foster acceptance and peace in our community. If you have something about your culture you'd like to share, we'd LOVE to welcome you into our classroom. Can you bring in something to show us? Read a book about your culture? Do a craft? Teach us a dance? Play some music? Share some food? Please let us know!
