Chinese New Year cards for our US pen pals

On February 17, 2007, the Chinese will celebrate the eve of the Year of the Golden Pig. To help our US pen pals understand the significance of this holiday, we made cards written in Chinese with English explanations. I am very happy with the work that the 6th graders put into these cards--a few are featured.
