Lunar New Year (Robin Hill School)

Eigen’s mother visits the first-grade class at Robin Hill School to talk about Lunar New Year. Using flowers, a globe, and dumplings, Ms. Wong shares information about the spring holiday, which is celebrated in many places and is especially connected to Eigen’s family in China. As they listen, the students try to guess which part of the celebration Eigen enjoys most. The classroom visit centers the children’s questions and Eigen’s family traditions.
