It's the Year of the Rat! We've been enjoying learning about the Chinese New Year. C. was born in the year of the Snake, G. was born in the Year of the Goat, and I was born in the Year of the Monkey. Apparently, I am an "Earth Monkey" - "Always the community activitsts, Earth Monkeys have an inherent desire to live life the "right" way. They're very dependable and they take their work and their relationships seriously. In fact, they put forth 100% effort into everything they do. In return, Earth Monkeys expect respect from others." So how about some respect, people???!!!!
You can find out about your year here.
We made some fun crafts. The lanterns are very easy and we strung them up around our classroom.
The dragon puppets are fun too and very easy.
We are lucky to have a beautiful parasol that my Dad brought back
from China on one of his trips. C. is also wearing a lovely dress he brought her. You'll notice she is also missing her front teeth! I can't believe how quickly she is growing up. I feel so lucky to be able to spend so much time with her this year.

If any of you can give us some good tips on what's going on, where to eat, what not to miss, et cetera, we'd really appreciate it!
Xin nein kuai le! (That's Happy New Year in Mandarin!)
