On Friday, the children shared their knowledge about China and the Chinese New Year with all of the informal classes at Chautauqua.
The children were so interested in the story of the dragon that started the Chinese New Year. We took our knowledge of the dragon story and put our own spin on it through several shared writing experiences.
Next, we worked together to create a dragon head that would lead half of our class in the dragon dance.
Finally, the children worked with Mrs. Gibson to come up with their own rhythms and chants to go along with our very own dragon dance.
Here is Mrs. Dunn & Miss Gibbons' 1st & 2nd graders' retelling of The Beast. Enjoy!
