Panthers Celebrate Chinese New Year
It is a tradition to write Chinese Calligraphy on the Spring Couplet; then glue it on the door of the house. Chinese students did this on Monday, February 5th in Chinese classes.

Chinese people have used Chinese knots for the buttons of clothes and decorations for various of Chinese festivals celebrations, weddings, and homes. Students and Ms. Anderson appreciate Mrs. Nancy Shen who bought materials and taught them how to make Chinese knots. They were all engaged and enjoyed it very much!

Mrs. Betty Torng, a previous student's parent, came to talk about the Chinese New Year legend stories and customs.
