Chinese New Year activities

To celebrate the year of the sheep we did various activities at our schools here in Mid Prairie.  The University of Iowa Confucius Institute came and presented to our fifth graders at each elementary.   At the middle school Chris Dusek, my student teacher, did a lesson on Chinese paper cutting with the six, seventh, and eighth graders.
