Chinese New Year
Today Olivia's class celebrated Chinese New Year. They read a book in class and helped Mrs. Engelhardt make a dragon.
It was fun for the kids to be in the head of the dragon. I also thought it was a great exercise for the children to follow directions and work together under the dragon. Olivia's class was the only class to do something like this. It gives the kids a different kind of learning experience. Normally I am not into fluffy education, but things in our area are so academic, it is nice to have a break. She is in KINDERGARTEN!
