A Day of Celebration!

Last week we celebrated Chinese New Year with several different events.

 










Many of us dressed in our traditional red outfits while others wore red to celebrate the day!




Our assembly started with a fabulous dragon dance performed by the kindergarten students!

 


Then we were treated to an impressive Tae Kwon Do demonstration by many of our students.
 


The assembly ended with the lion dance.  His wiggling ears and wagging tail made many of us laugh!

 




We had a very special treat at lunch- homemade dumplings!  A group of parents spent the morning making several thousand dumplings for everyone in the school!  They were delicious!







 




 We practiced making dumplings and learned how to pinch the edges so all the stuffing stayed inside.




 





We also practiced using chopsticks by trying to pick up Fruit Loops.   











We also did some paper cutting.  



 














It was a fabulous day of learning and celebrating!  We hope everyone had a Happy Chinese New Year!  

A special thank you to all the parents who volunteered and helped to make this a day to remember!
