EC Extended Day's Chinese Names and Zodiac Signs



During Extended Day, Shengjie taught friends a few things about Chinese background and culture. Each friend was given his/her name written in Chinese and what the meaning behind his/her Chinese name is. Some friends drew a picture based on the meaning of their Chinese names. With some help from their teacher, friends practiced writing their name in Chinese. 

Next, friends worked with their teacher to figure out what their Chinese birth year Zodiac Sign is.  Friends that are 3 years old are born in the year of the Tiger; and our 4 year old friends are born in the year of the Ox. Last, our 5 years old are the year of the Rat. Once friends figured out which year they were born in, they cut out their animal and glued it to their sheet.  Each friend could not wait to share their new Chinese information with their families at pick up time. 


Stay tuned, because friends will be learning a special Chinese song!
