You know, like eating fish, but in cracker form. Lame? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lunar-new-year-class-celebration/page/2#post-1384736 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 14:06:20 +0000 regberadaisy 1384736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: oh, good idea!

Your plan sounds awesome.</p> <p>I did bring an awesome book in today for my DD's class that talks about the different ways in which we celebrate the holiday. And next week I will be volunteering in the classroom with a paper lantern craft. I am feeling like the LNY evangelist at her school, haha (which I never have before). </p> <p>I'm wondering if I can find some small "treasure" at Michael's to stuff in the envelope just to make it more full. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lunar-new-year-class-celebration/page/2#post-1384693 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 13:59:04 +0000 regberadaisy 1384693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: I'm doing it next week! I'm bringing in cuties/clementines for morning snack, a LNY book for story time and sticking a red envelope in their cubbies. I'm planning to look for some kitschy stuff when we're in Chinatown.</p> <p>If it was next week I would pick you up something from the city! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lunar-new-year-class-celebration/page/2#post-1384686 Wed, 29 Jan 2014 13:57:07 +0000 T-Mom 1384686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: @BoogieBea: @Mrs. Chocolate: @locavore_mama: </p> <p>Did you guys decide if you are doing stuff for your LO's classes, and if so, what?</p> <p>I have 60 red envelopes and some stickers, but the stickers I ordered ended up being so tiny that it's sad. I need ideas for what else to put in the red envelope. They are not allowed to have candy in school. I don't think I can pull off folding orgami for that many kids (I am passing them out during a Heritage Week event which gathers four classrooms together). I am tag teaming with another mom who will pass out a zodiac booklet. And we will do a short presentation for the children.</p> <p>Anyone else passing out red envelopes to kids stuff with non-monetary items?</p> <p>ETA: my event is on Friday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lunar-new-year-class-celebration/page/2#post-1299019 Tue, 24 Dec 2013 01:33:56 +0000 teamjse 1299019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: sure wall your address to me.

I'm also looking at the Grace Lin one.<br /> I was planning on bringing clementines. Clementines with the leaves on are often put out for decor and luck around Lunar New York. </p> <p>Your son is a little older so coloring is a good idea! I bet you can even print horse images online. </p> <p>As for stickers if you scroll up I found some cute ones on eBay. Now, don't go buying them all and save me some! Hehe </p> <p>If you do for something you should write a blog post! Is there much on the celebration?<br /> @mamabear57: I love full bill size envelopes!!! Love the right one. No Daiso near me. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lunar-new-year-class-celebration#post-1296880 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 21:37:01 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 1296880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamabear57: Oh love the middle one Whats Daiso?

These are some of the ones I have.</p> <p>[attach=129/13/my8n4b.600x450.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lunar-new-year-class-celebration#post-1296831 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 20:56:07 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 1296831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: LOL Well Im stealing your idea of red envelopes with stickers in them, maybe horse stickers if I can find them. I need to go to the Asian market to see when they will have envelopes and hope I can find a cute pre-school fun one.<br /> I have this book for my DS already<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lucky-Year-Flaps-Pop-Ups-More/dp/0375852247/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1387763676&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=lucky+new+year" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Lucky-Year-Flaps-Pop-Ups-More/dp/0375852247/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1387763676&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=lucky+new+year</a></p> <p>so I might take it to his class and read it on the day closets to the holiday. Other than that Im not sure what I can do. I think his class is a bit too young to really make lanterns so what else can they do? Color a horse picture? Not sure. I admit I am a true ABC so I dont know a lot of customs at all. is there any special food I can bring in that would be kid friendly? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lunar-new-year-class-celebration#post-1296802 Sun, 22 Dec 2013 20:25:34 +0000 regberadaisy 1296802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: hahaha thanks!! </p> <p>@Mrs. Chocolate: you'll have to share! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lunar-new-year-class-celebration#post-1291006 Thu, 19 Dec 2013 10:50:44 +0000 Alivoo01 1291006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Our Asian market said they won't be receiving their fun and cute "lai sees" until January so they only had these boring generic ones... I'll keep an eye out for the cute ones for you though! </p> [attach=303/13/my29cl.600x450.Lai-See.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lunar-new-year-class-celebration#post-1289438 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 14:24:50 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 1289438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love this idea and never thought about it at all.
