Washington Township and Wellman Elementary kindergarten students are learning about animals, especially those in the Chinese Zodiac. We just celebrated Chinese New Year, with this year being the Year of the Dragon. There were many activities associated with this special holiday, including watching short videos from around the world, with a special emphasis on Chinese families, and singing songs such as "Gongxi Gongxi!" The students practiced using chopsticks with small marshmallows and Cheerios, and the students were "picking it up" really quickly!
For the 1st through 5th grades at WT and WE, there were also a number of activities for Chinese New Year, a movie about this most important holiday, the students learned a song, and they also had a quiz and a contest! You can see the 12 signs of the Chinese Zodiac in the pictures below.
