Chinese New Year

Happy Chinese New Year! Well, we officially ended our unit on China last night. We had friends over and we ate lots of Chinese food! My friend made most of the food, I only made pot stickers (which took 2 hours to cook-I made so many!) and carrot cake (I know it's not Chinese but it's yummy). We had egg rolls, ramon noodles, fried rice, beef and broccoli, rice and pot stickers. The kids each had a plate with a little of everything on it. They all tried but all didn't like the food. The kids each presented what they did (project), for china, to the group. Ladybug built the Great Wall of China out of sand. Jitter Bug did a book, All About Chinese Animals. Lightning Bug did sequencing cards on silkworms. Stink Bug built the Great Wall out of legos but right before the friends came Wheel Bug played with it and built his own creation (and I didn't get a picture of it first!). Everyone had a great time. We are looking forward to Spain in Februrary! Linz
