Chinese New Year 1

Barbara Pollak, a teacher at Manalapan-Englishtown Regional Schools in New Jersey

I celebrate the Chinese New Year with my class. We eat food with chopsticks such as lo mein that can be scooped up holding the sticks like a fork. Dumplings or wonton can be speared for those not yet adept enough to tackle rice or veggies. I found a great site www.goodorient.com that gives English names in Chinese characters. These characters make a colorful bulletin board.
