We just past the Chinese New Year's Eve a few hours ago based on the Lunar calendar at the Asian time zone and it's officially the first day of the Year of Snake today.
We learned stories of Nian (年) and how it becomes the celebration of the beginning of a year. We sang songs, did calligraphy and did arts and crafts and made our classroom the most festive room ever. We learned how different food symbolized different wishes and how they turned into lucky phrases we need to say during Chinese New Year when we meet our families and friends. As a Chinese tradition, we also got red envelopes from Ms Liao. Everyone wore bright or red color or even traditional Chinese clothes to say good bye to the Year of Dragon and welcome the little dragon (snake).
Wish you the best in this new year.
