Chinese New Year Resources

I always love the Chinese New Year.  I love the colors and the traditions associated with it.    I usually don’t have many students who celebrate the holiday in my classroom, but I feel it is important to expose my students to a variety of holiday customs.  Here are some Chinese New Year resources you may find helpful in your classroom.

Books

Books are always a great way to hook your students into something they may be unfamiliar with.  Here are some Chinese New Year books I use in my classroom.
