I love celebrating and teaching about Chinese New Year. My Kinder students are always excited when we read about Chinese New Year. Here is a picture of our Social Studies bulletin board dedicated to Chinese New Year.

The sentence frame we used for this project was  "I was born in the year of the _____________"

I try to make my own student name tags every month.  For the month of January I used a red dragon to represent Chinese New Year.  Students wrote their name with a red marker.  I think making this name tags has saved me some money :)

I am officially a Pinterest Addict! There are so many wonderful shared ideas for classroom organization  that I wanted to share one of my favorites with you.
