Year of the Rabbit - Chinese New Year Celebration

The students in Haven elementary school who join the after-school activity(21 century) will be the

participant in the Mandarin cooking club. I would like to have some tasting activity, read the recipe

and make the cuisines, compare foods in different countries and discuss about the diversity about

different cultures and eating habit. The project will take place in my classroom on every Tuesday

from 4 to 6. Food is the fastest way to connect people together. If the students enjoy the activities

Before Lunar New Year, students will learn different aspects of the Lunar New Year, such as stories and legends, traditions, food, clothing, phrases, and entertainment. The teacher will encourage students to share these ideas with family members. Families will go on a field trip to Chinatown during the Lunar New Year to experience dining with chopsticks in a Chinese restaurant and enjoy a Lunar New Year parade afterward.

It will be a fair open to the community that welcome all the community members to enjoy various fun activities involving Mandarin and Taiwanese culture.
