Synopsis

This is a hands-on workbook for parents and teachers, written for children from ages 3 to 12 years old, for use in the classroom or at home. Children will enjoy the party ideas, dragon parades, lion dances, art projects, and zodiac games. The art projects are designed to be easy, as well as inexpensive to reproduce for large groups. All the activities in this book have been thoroughly tested in the classroom, with very successful results, and have elicited lots of enthusiasm from children and teachers alike. Music, physical movement, art, and food all add to the ambiance of taking an imaginary trip to China during the Chinese New Year.

About this title

About the Author:

Cindy Roberts has a Graphic Arts Degree from the University of Kansas. Besides 18 years of designing, she has been a mother for 13 years constantly enriching her children's education and developing her own summer home schooling curriculum. Learning about other cultures is her obvious favorite! In 1997, Cindy and her husband Tom adopted 3 older children from Asia. In an effort to keep their new children's culture, Cindy started searching for Chinese New Year materials to share in her children's classrooms. Not finding the classroom projects she was searching for, Cindy started developing her own Chinese New Year curriculum. For the past three years, Cindy has taught classes about the Chinese New Year to children at Colorado Heritage Camp, and this year was invited back to be a guest speaker. Cindy Roberts has written two wonderful adoption books for children called "Danielle Where Are You?" and "Dear Sam & Dani." The author lives in Southern California with her husband, 6! kids, and many furry critters.
