Year of the Horse - Chinese New Year

Paper cuts would be a good lesson for Chinese New Year (can be varied for
grade level)

You could have them find out what their year is -- then they could do
something related to their own year (link on my site).

P.S. 2002 is my year, too. I am "Year of the Horse" -- Hubby is Tiger - I
guess that is why we get along so well (smile).
