Learning Explorations

Chinese New Year

January6

In order to learn more about Chinese culture and to participate in an art contest if interested, we are going to learn a bit about the Spring Festival of China. This festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in China. Before we can participate in the art contest, we need to know a bit about the festival and what the year of the Goat means as part of this festival and as part of Chinese cultural symbolism. Use these websites to learn more about it, and be prepared to share interesting facts about this festival.
