Chinese New Year: A Preschool Celebration
It was a festive morning at Mr. Sneaky Pant's preschool today. The Banana and I attended a parade, where three long dragons wound themselves around the room. The dragon heads were boxes painted by the students, and behind each dragon head tromped many dragon feet under a long piece of material painted by the kids. The kids were very excited, and ended the parade with a stomp over stripes of bubble wrap to create "banging fireworks." We then sat down to a special reception of fortune cookies at tables decorated with paper lanterns. Each student took home some lucky money, a penny sealed in a bright red envelope with Chinese writing on the front.
