Students from third and fifth-grade homerooms at Johnston Elementary School had a great time on Monday Jan. 23, the Chinese New Year, creating a dragon for the “Year of the Dragon” in China, hearing the history of the Great Wall of China, and seeing Chinese artwork and customs that are part of the Chinese heritage.  

Students also enjoyed eating fried rice with chopsticks and sharing the fortunes from their fortune cookies with each other.
