When we return for winter break I plan to jump right into Amy's from Learning Lessons with Mrs. Labrasciano fabulous Chinese New Year unit.  Since I have a student this year who celebrates Chinese New Year, I love how this unit is not only aligned with the Common Core, it is fun and engaging, and educationally enriching!
 
 
 This is one of my favorite projects and I do it every year.  After reading the book Snowmen at Night we love making these beautiful snowmen that include our writing samples of what we think snowmen do at night.  It makes a great hallway display!

I use this gem in one of my word work stations and it is always a favorite and best of all.....it's FREE!  Students love using a magnifying glass to find the hidden sight words in the picture.

    I think my students would love to do some Chinese New Year activities! I have never actually done anything big with them.
