On the Chinese New Year Day of 2012, Children House 2 of Oak Meadow Montessori School had a special Chinese culture lesson. Parents of 7 students brought in many items, books and red envelops to demonstrate Chinese customs related to Chinese New Year. Students of CH2 enjoyed the special lesson greatly, as well as the delicious Chinese food served afterwords.
In an email, CH2 teacher Ms. Coughlan wrote to CH2 parents "Thank you all for the delightful morning you shared with us! The children thoroughly enjoyed all they learned about Chinese New Year and of course the luncheon was delicious!"
In her reply to Ms. Coughlan, organizer of the event, Rachel's mom Jing Liu wrote the following:
"Thanks Ms. Coughlan and Ms. Valencourt for having us come in and your great support to make it run smoothly!
