⭐ A very comprehensive bundle that explains Chinese New Year in a creative way.

⭐ My students really enjoyed this!  We spent a couple of days using the art project and attaching facts.  They used this in their independent work time.  I also used a video that explained Chinese New Year, so they were able to understand the importance of this event.

⭐ Wonderful, well thought out, and engaging for students!  Thank You
