Students will decorate their masks and join the school in experiencing a Chinese New Year Dragon Dance.


BLOCK 2 Groups; Chinese New Year Literature/Share


Objective:  Students will gain an understanding of Chinese New Years, work collaboratively, pick out facts to share.

Activity:  In groups of 3 and a staff, students will read a non-fiction literature book about CNY.  As a group they will record facts in cultural categories (food, traditions, celebrations, other facts).  One student will record, or they take turns recording depending on group.  When the groups are finished, we will reconvene and each group will share something they found out.

Assess: Student presentation of knowledge (sharing)

BLOCK 3 Tanagram Puzzles

Objective:  Students will explore the art of tanagram puzzles in connection to Chinese New Year (art, fine motor, social studies, etc.).

Activity:  Using the grid above, students will create and check off as many designs as possible.  When the student has done a design, they will raise their hand and a photo will be taken.  We will chart how many we made as a collective.

Assess: Student product, chart and observation.
