Kindergarten students at Caryl E. Adams Primary School led the school's celebration of the Year of the Snake with a festive Lunar New Year Parade on Thursday, February 13, 2025. The students "snaked" their way through the halls of the school waving Chinese fans they created in art class and following a dragon. In addition to the fans, each Kindergarten student also made an oil pastel and tempera-paint patterned snake.
Students in Grades 1 – 3 were spectators for the parade, lining the halls and holding artwork they made in celebration of the Lunar New Year. First graders showed off the pleated fans they made in art class. They spent a great deal of time learning about Chinese culture and drawing things they know about China on the paper prior to folding their creations.
Second graders learned about how secondary colors can be created from primary colors when they made 3D-model magic dragons for good luck in the new year.
Paper lanterns fashioned by third graders also hung in the hallways during the parade, and they are full of information that the students learned about Chinese culture.
