Chinese New Year

We celebrated Chinese New Year at school this week - parents brought lots of delicious food and explained some of the traditions.

Tangerines symbolize luck; oranges wealth - go here to read more about what foods symbolize


Red envelopes traditionally filled with money, these had chocolate coins

We learned some calligraphy


And now we're on vacation for a little over a week to celebrate New Years.  Xīn nián kuài lè!
