Gong Hei Fat Choy

Happy Lunar New Year!! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend celebrating. I know there are a lot of fun things that are happening around the city. We have been talking about it in class and doing fun art to decorate the walls. Here are some pictures of the crafts we did.

The students used pastels to color in the characters for Gong Hei Fat Choy.

We compared our languages' alphabet. 

We practiced how to say Happy New Year in several different languages. 

This is the Cantonese way of saying it. 

It is the year of the rooster. In French, 'le coq'. 

The students painted the roosters with a fork. It was the best way to get the feathers on top of his head. The students thought it was hilarious.

We watched a video of the dragon dance. The students then made their own dragons. They had fun dancing them around the class!
