Daily Update - Chinese New Year

Miss Catrina came in our classroom today to talk to us about China.  She shared a dress that she got for "B" when she brought her home from China.   She read us a book, and told us in China it is a tradition to sweep out your house and get rid of all of the bad things that happened last year and get ready for a fresh start in the New Year.  So we gave it a try, we all took turns sweeping out all of the bad things and got ready for our fresh start at CLC!  She also gave us an orange that we will be bringing home, these are eaten for good fortune in the New Year.  It is the year of the Snake.  During table time we made our very own snakes.  We also tried to eat our lunch with chopsticks.  Some of the children did this very well.  Our Star of the Week's Nana and Grandma joined us for lunch today.  Thank You for coming all the way from Illinois to hang out with us!
