First graders learned about Chinese New Year traditions. Being in a Jewish school, we discussed cross-cultural comparisons such as the focus on family, and the festival meal with traditional foods. I introduced the idea that Chinese dragons symbolize good luck and strength, which contrasts with traditional European fairy tale bad-guy dragons. We drew the dragons step by step, focusing on noticing shapes and different kinds of lines. They used colored pencil and Sharpie to add vibrant colors.
