Thank you for the resources, my students are fasincated with Lunar New Year. They didn't have too much prior knowledge of the origin or the meaning of the zodiac sign, so I know this will be perfect.
This might be an interesting lesson for a "get to know you" session at the beginning of the year. Every kid likes to talk about themselves -- and find out about this kind of stuff. It also provides a good cultural comparison. I like this idea.
