Last Friday, Jiejie and I hosted a Chinese New Year party for Mimi's classmates.
The morning started with everyone getting a name tag with a Chinese name from the zodiac. Due to the fact that their are twelve animals and 25 students we just made half big animals and half small animals.
We then had story time. Then we adjourned to tables where we made dragon masks and paper lanterns.
Mimi's teacher was a bit sketchy about the kids doing the lion dance so we modified it a bit and they all had turns being in the lion head.
We gave them all prerigged chopsticks and they ate oranges and opened fortune cookies.
All in all it was a success. Jiej and I were pretty tired when all was said and done.
Jiej was the master, she got all of those kids, cut glued stapled and organized. I was so proud.
