Chinese New Year Party

There are three families in our church that homeschool. On Wednesday, February 6th, the Ho family hosted a Chinese New Year party for the homeschoolers.The event was held in the Ho's homeschool classroom. Ethel did a fabulous job. She had been planning it for weeks. She had activity books which had their name in Chinese, a page for them to copy counting to ten, a dot-to-dot with Chinese numbers, as well as some other pages. There was an opportunity to make Chinese lanterns, practice Chinese writing , a chopstick competition, and loads of delicious junk food! Ethel and her sister even dressed in Chinese clothes! Fun was had by all, especially we big kids that were invited!
Busy making lanterns.

Practicing Chinese writing.


Even though it was a fun day,
it was an educational one as well.

Some very eager children!


Ethel, the creative mind behind a wonderful day.


Enjoying some Chinese treats,
and some non-Chinese ones as well!

Nathan came in a close second - they were tied
