新年活动 Chinese New Year Activity:写羊字 Writing Character Yang, 新年小彩旗 New Year Bunting,说吉祥话 Say Lucky Phrases

The stoke order of yang.


Those are all yang. Let's create you own yang.


First Graders Fantastic Work



Draw New Year Buntings



Here is a video of all the lucky phrases we use when greet each other during the Chinese New Year. When I was little, I memorized a lot of lucky phrases. When I greet adults, especially grand parents, they were so happy and give me a lot of red envelopes.





Sometimes we write wrong characters on purpose to make up a new and different meaning.


See the lucky phrases below all contain "yang". Let's try to create new meanings.


yáng míng lì wàn
扬名立万
sān yáng kāi tài
三阳开泰
xǐ qì yáng yáng
喜气洋洋
Here are my fourth graders' work. I made fire crackers 鞭炮.



If you have a good one, don't forget to share it with me!

羊年行大运!
Lucky Sheep Year!

课程手表 Schedule Watch

It is a great way to teach all the subject names in Mandarin. Students are having fun making and designing this way, as well as reviewing subject names and telling time. I used Scotch tape to laminate the schedule watch for every student. I feel so grateful when they said "thank you" to me for I designed this project for them.

There is the printable version available on TPT. Click me!

圆圆的饼干单元

We started a unit about food names in Mandarin. We learn a song "yuan yuan de bing gan"(a round cookie). It is a good project to review all the food names with shapes and colors. Students are having fun looking for the round items around them to add more pages to this mini book, like their round faces. So creative!
