Lanterns

We have been learning about one of the biggest holidays in China - Chinese New Year (they just call it New Year or Lunar New Year or Spring Festival). We learned that they celebrate by making and/or lighting lanterns during the last day of the two week holiday. Today we made our own version of a lantern and decorated it with some of the Chinese characters we have been learning.
