It is Lunar New Year, and in Asia, this holiday is almost bigger than the January 1st celebration that we are familiar with. All the families get together, dress in traditional Korean outfits, and bow to the elders with wishes of good fortune. The phrase "새해 복 많이 받으세요" (pronounced "say-hay-bok-manee-pa-doo-say-yo"....say that 5 times fast!) translates to "many good wishes for the new year". The kids were excited because they celebrated at school with lots of games and activities. We are excited because we also got a three-day weekend. So Happy Lunar New Year everyone!

We had an arm wrestling contest for the 5 and 6 year olds, and my student, Aaron, beat all of his competitors to win first place! They gave him this medal necklace and Kyle and another teacher carried him around the 2nd floor. It was very exciting, and we were very proud of Aaron!
