It's been an interesting couple of weeks at school. Children did some great work last week to celebrate Martin Luther King Day and thought about their own dreams for a better world, then yesterday marked the start of Chinese New Year so we had celebrations in class. One of the parents of a boy in my class was born in Vietnam and so he came to tell us about his childhood memories of New Year celebrations. It was great. As usual I was like a big kid and had more questions than them. He brought all of the kids some 'lucky money' in a red envelope as is tradition but told us that he had spoken to his parents and they had said "How much are you putting in each?" When he replied "a dollar bill", they told him that odd numbers were bad luck and he had to put in 2...All of the kids went home richer yesterday after wishing him a long and happy life! We also did crafts, ate lots of snacks with chopsticks and of course had fortune cookies. Mine disappointingly told me "an apple a day, keeps the doctor away".

Romantic late night shopping spree?

Spell chec

Worrying stuff!
