“I thought it was good and fun. Festive for today,” said Elisa Valenzuela, who was dressed in a pair of chopsticks costume.While other students dressed up for the fun occasion Monday, some crafted their own costumes. Students also wore paper hats with their Chinese Zodiac signs on them and many wore red, the lucky color for East Asian countries.
Students are learning about the big holiday and different cultures with the help of Natalie Cheang, one of the district’s few Asian American teachers. “We have four Asian students in third grade. When we talk about Asian culture, like Thai, or Vietnamese or Laotian or Chinese, you can see that light up in their eyes, like, oh I’m being recognized,” Cheang said.
