Chinese New Year

Over the last two weeks we have enjoyed learning about Chinese New Year.  The children listened to the story about the animals racing to see who would have the first year named after them and they participated in craft activities to make lanterns and dragons.  Everyone loved doing the dragon dance and enjoyed dancing while Rong Rong played her Chinese guitar.
