Our February lessons had a thematic unit revolving around Chinese New Year. The students learned all about the traditions, customs, food, clothing, folklore, parades, zodiac calendar, etc. It was fun experiencing a differnent culture. We discussed the importance of respecting the views and beliefs of other people as well. In ELA, we read the story about the origin of the Chinese dragon. In Mathematics, we compared and ordered values using the dates from the calendar.
