Chinese New Year in Kindergarten

Kindergartners have been learning about the Chinese Lunar New Year in their classroom.  They painted beautiful springtime scenes using water color and tempera paints, and a top secret resist technique for the moon!

I thought it might be fun to have a Sixth Grader show the Kindergartners how to write their names in Chinese calligraphy.  It turned out that we had four Sixth Graders who were able to help out!

It was fun for the Kindergartners to watch the big kids forming the characters and to hear them talk about which characters would best be used to represent each sound.  Plus, the calligraphy is an absolutely beautiful finishing touch for these absolutely beautiful paintings!
