Dragon Parade

Today, the children marched in our Chinese New Year Dragon Parade.  What a fun afternoon!  Thank you to all of the older students and family members who came out to cheer for us!  We hope that you enjoy the following video and picture slideshow:

Celebrating Chinese New Year

The children have really enjoyed learning about Chinese New Year.  Some of our activities have included:

• Cleaning up our classrooms to get rid of any bad luck from last year
• Making Chinese lanterns
• Painting dragon masks
• Comparing American and Chinese New Year celebrations
• Opening a Chinese restaurant in our "Let's Pretend" center
• Cooking real Chinese food together
• Practicing using chopsticks
• Preparing for our Dragon Parade

Here are some photos from the past two weeks:

All You Need is Love

We had a busy and fun day filled with lots of love.  This morning, the children did Valentine-themed workshops.  Then, we had a special Pizza Party for lunch with some delicious cupcakes thanks to Payton's family.  Next, we opened all of our Valentine cards.  We finished the day in the gym with Coach Zazo for the annual Jumprope for Heart event.  Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy 100th Day of Kindergarten!

What a busy and exciting 100th day we had!  What was your child's favorite part?
