We wave goodbye to the dragon year and welcome the snake year.

| We were a long dragon moving to see the video. |
Deb showed the children some videos of lion dance and dragon dance. Chinese people believe that lion dance and dragon dance can bring people good luck and fortune for the New Year. The children also lined up to pretend doing dragon dance.

We talked about how people write down good words and wishes for the new year on red paper. Chinese people write spring scrolls and hang them at home for Chinese New Year. Ann show children how to write "新年快樂" (Happy New Year) on spring scrolls.

| The children did the snake drawing for the coming-up snake year. |
Associating to our "generosity" unit, the children learned about the meaning of red envelopes and lucky money. Parents and elders give youth red envelopes to wish them grow up healthily and safely in the new year. The children took terms to give a red envelope to their friend and said "Xīnnián kuàilè" (Happy New Year in Mandarin).
