Year of the Rabbit - Happy New Year

Happy Chinese New Year Everyone


Today starts the Year of the Rabbit 
 Here is what the kids woke up to today!



Paper Lanterns 



Red money envelopes and a wooden snake to color (could not find a rabbit)
I made these red firecrackers out of toilet paper rolls and tissue paper.


Our Scholastic Study on China and Chinese New Year


A library book we will read on Chinese New Year


Do you celebrate?

Wow! You do such a great job! I am hardly that creative. We don't celebrate the Chinese New Year, but we love looking at the place mats at the Chinese restaurant that have the years and what animal goes with it. :)

Thanks for stopping by!
You are amazing, all these cute Chinese NY things! I never thought of having a monthly animal, we might give that a try!
We are also having stir-fry for dinner but I'm afraid I don't have any chopsticks in the house.
I hope you plan on posting some pics with the chopsticks and eating or non-eating going on.
Such cute ideas!

Blessings,
Linda

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
