Celebrate the Chinese New Year

More about this lesson plan:

Materials Needed: For the teacher: # Copy of this lesson plan, the attached activities sheet, and a copy of Connie's Story (below). # OPTIONAL: Portable puppet theater for the presentation. A table at the front will work fine to have a focal point if you do not have a portable theater. For the students: # Construction paper, one piece for each lantern and various colored sheets for making the dancing dragons. # Scissors and tape or glue; enough tape to close each child's lantern, the dragon loops, and the dragonhead. Glue will work also if you have drying time. # Sticks or string: to hang dragons or lanterns from when the children complete their creative arts projects. # Classroom set of People Holding Hands: TRACE, GAIL, JESSIE, and CONNIE (or other multi-cultural puppets).
