This week, we celebrated Lunar New Year (Chinese New Year) with Harper’s mom, Sandra, and 3B friends. Sandra read us a book called Lunar New Year written by Hannah Eliot and explained to us that 2019 is the year of pig! We also learned that Lunar New Year is about preparing for good luck in the coming year. At the end, we decorated a Chinese character for 'luck’ by drawing with color pencils and cutting it around. We placed it in an red envelope that Sandra and Harper prepared for us!

We especially feel fortunate to have so many families from different countries in 3A. We believe that early exposure of multi-cultures  widen the children's perspectives of the world and help in accepting others as who they are. Also knowing where their cultural roots are from help develop a sense of belonging in our children. 

We would love to launch a project called "My Special Day" in March which will give us opportunities to present where our families are from and why we are so special. More details will follow soon...
