Getting Ready for the Year of the Dragon

This Chinese New Year commemorates the year of the Dragon.  So in honor of this event we have been doing lots of activities around the school.  Everyone is decorating their folders as they learn the various animals associated with Chinese New Year.  We have started a New Years bulletin board where the students put up their hopes for the upcoming year.   

The foreign language teaching staff has also been very busy getting things organized for our first language club meeting of the new year.  If will be on February 2nd a Kalona Elementary.  This year we will be doing traditional Chinese paper cutting, and making crab ran-goons.  I hope we can keep up the strong turn out we have been having this year.  It is great to see all the students and community who come to our events.
