Re: how do you celebrate chinese new year with your kids (el age)??

every year i tend to have at least one chinese student. their parents come in and do a whole presentation for the class.

if i didn't have those students, i wouldn't mention it, just like we can't mention christmas, hanukah, etc. it's so so sad, but that's the way it is where i work. the teachers can't mention anything cultural or religious. Chat Icon

I have celebrated Chinese New Year before and I have done any variations of:

*each child gets a red envelope with the good luck coins
*we have traditional Chinese snacks
*we each make wishes for the New Year on red slips of paper and decorate them and make a "Gung Hay Fat Choy" bulletin board
*read some Chinese New Year books, including Sam and the Lucky Money
