Central Elementary School second graders learned about the Chinese New Year recently. The Year of the Snake began on January 29. Students made hats, lanterns, snakes, and red envelopes - all symbols of the Chinese New Year. One student shared her New Year's family traditions and gave her classmates red envelopes with two-dollar bills inside. The two-dollar bill symbolizes prosperity.

Our second grade students learned all about Chinese New Year. They made hats, lanterns, snakes, & red envelopes. Students wrote kind messages to one another to put in their envelopes. One of our Wildcats shared her family traditions and celebrations for Chinese New Year and brought in red envelopes for her classmates! Each envelope had a $2 bill in it.
