"Dragon and Snake Hallway" and Lion Dance Art

“I’m a snake!” Cheng Qian announced at connection time one morning.
“I’m a dragon! For Chinese New Year!” Arsh said.
“Can you be any animal you want?” Harrison asked.
“You are the animal because of the year you are born.” Shulynne answered.

The class looked at the two different years the children were born in. We figured out who is a snake and who is a dragon. A few children then decided to make their Zodiac animal out of recycled materials, and many others followed this idea.

“We need to hang them! Right by our lanterns for good luck! A dragon and snake hallway!” Arian exclaimed!

“And don’t forget to look at the red lanterns! Our class will have so much good luck this year!” Alisa added.







The hunt for good luck continued, as Jaden and Yoonjin looked on our calendar.  The Lion Dance on the special day before the Chinese New Year holiday peaked their interest.

“A Lion Dance! We should make a lion for our hallway!” –Jaden
“Red, yellow…sparkly!” –Yoonjin
“But let’s make it really, really big. We can all work on it together!” -Shulynne
