Today we celebrated Chinese New Year. We enjoyed listening to the story of the Chinese New Year Animal Race.  We learned that the rabbit came fourth in the race and that this year is the year of the rabbit. 🐇

We also learned that to celebrate the New Year, Chinese people make and light paper lanterns, clean their houses, join in dragon dances, watch firework displays, eat together as a family to name just a few things.

We made our own paper lantern pictures using tissue paper and then made a black silhouette rabbit to finish it off. We think they all look fantastic.
