Hillcrest 3rd Grade Celebrates Chinese New Year; Learns Old Oriental Customs Excitement filled Hillcrest’s third grade classroom as they observed the Chinese New Year holiday. This second New Year’s celebration is possible because thousands of years ago when the Chinese people began to observe the beginningof the New Year, a way of measuring time was not used in Chaina that is nowused in the world today. Therefore, the Chinese New Year holiday falls three to seven weeks after the usual year begins. The class learned of many of the old customs connected with the Chinese New Year. One custom is that any person who owes money must pay it back before the holiday begins. If he does notdo so, heis in disgrace with his family and friends. They also have the custom of adding anextra yearto their age at the New Year. Grown-ups give children small packets of “lucky money,” believing that this gift of money, which is wrapped in red paper, will bring good luck. To add to the atmosphere,the school room was decorated to look likea little China Town with its colorful lanterns and large Chinese umbrellas. Chinese attire was the dress for the day.
