Chinese New Year Celebrated by Grade 1 Students

By Melinda Gonzales
Tandy Aye, parent of Emmett Chung, grade 1, put on a Chinese New Year party for Rita Stone’s homeroom in mid-January. The celebration included decorations, crafts, stories explaining the traditions of Chinese New Year and Chinese snacks including Clementines representing good luck and long life, pineapple cake and sesame crunch. The children also each received a traditional hongbao, or red envelope, containing chocolate coins and candy at the end of the party. “It was perfect, start to finish, and definitely enjoyed by all, including me!” said Stone.
