Learning about the Chinese New Year in Junior Kindergarten involved discovering some of the customs and symbols of the holiday celebrated by the people of China and Chinese descent. The students engaged in dancing, making and playing hand drums, creating and flying kites and eating rice and vegetables with chopsticks. Gung Hay Fat Choy, everyone!
In keeping with the Chinese New Year and our gardening project, the Junior Kindergartners ventured into cooking a traditional Asian food, egg rolls! Using the cabbage they grew from seed in our garden, preschoolers cut, chopped, grated and sautéd the ingredients, then rolled the mixture in egg roll wrappers. After our friends at SAGE Food Service did the deep frying in the kitchen, the crispy treat was enjoyed with great big smiles.
