The Chinese New Year is a very special festival in the life of Taiwanese people, and it is also a day of family reunion. Most people who go out to study or work will come home to gather around the fireplace on New Year's Eve to show that the family is in good health and reunion; Taiwanese New Year also has the significance of removing the old and decorating the new, and by cleaning up the place, it means that the old is removed, and new development and new atmosphere are expected. Whether it is an individual, a family, a company, or even a country, we all look forward to a new start in the new year. We wish that in the new year, we will be able to live a peaceful and happy life in an environment full of love and care.

The Chinese New Year Festival is a very important teaching activity for kindergarten children. This festival occurs every year, but for the children, the feelings and experiences of the festival are different at different ages: primary, intermediate, and kindergarten. This week, teachers shared with the children the customs of the Chinese New Year and made related artworks, such as writing Chinese New Year couplets, making firecrackers and cutting window flowers, so that the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year could be felt inside and outside the classrooms of each classroom. In addition to the dragon and lion dances, there was also a drama performance by the older children called "The Mouse Marrying Her Daughter", which was inspired by the Taiwanese Chinese New Year song, "The Mouse Marrying Her Bride on the Third Day of the Lunar New Year", which is a Taiwanese song about marrying a bride and a daughter. Mandy suggested that in addition to enjoying the usual festive stuff, we should eat Lu Noodles for lunch and invite parents who are free to join in the fun. Grace's mom took a lucky bag, which triggered Mandy's idea of giving a lucky bag. Once you have the idea, it's hard work to do it. Every bit of it takes effort, money and time, and we all share the work together, which is the main reason why Renhe's principal and teachers are so busy, for the sake of the children.

After the Chinese New Year, everyone has gained another year. Some people say that age is the fairest thing, no matter you are a millionaire or a poor boy, you will grow one year a year, no one can be more, no one can be less. But because it is fair, there is competition. When someone grows a year, he or she grows in education, knowledge, health, and disposition, and becomes more and more popular with everyone.

However, some people who have gained a year are still lazy, they do not read, do not study, do not do anything, watch TV every day, talk meaningless words and then go on their way, there is no difference between gaining a year and not gaining a year. At the critical moment of gaining a year, it is really important to think about the significance of the extra year for yourself. The Bible says in Deuteronomy, "As your days are, so shall your strength be.

Happy Chinese New Year! Peace and happiness!

Mandy
