Ni Hao!
Time to celebrate Chinese New Year, it’s the year of the Tiger.. argrrrr..

The children, will learn a few Chinese words and try different foods. On Friday we’ll parade around the school with our crafts from the week and utilize small motor skills by using bubble pop as fireworks. We will also have a Dim Sum lunch (Asian turkey noodles w/ veggies, and egg rolls). The color of the week is… you guessed, RED.

Homework: read books about tigers, support your local Doc Chey’s, Repeat these:

Ni Hao/(pronounced nee how) You good/hello
