All around Asia it is "Chinese" New Year -- well, lunar new year. By the workings of the lunar calendar, 2010 has a double whammy: Chinese New Year on Saturday the 13th, then Valentine's Day on Sunday!
The US-China Institute of the University of Southern California puts out Talking Points, which pulls together background informati0n on breaking news, as well as information on art shows, talks, and other events in LA and around the country.
The Feb 10-24 issue has a great collection of New Year's postage stamps from all over the world, mostly, Asia which is colorful and also shows different styles.
If you're already nostalgic for last year, there is also a link to Year of the Ox stamps.
Browsing through earlier posts on this blog, I found a Scholastic Instructor page on Chinese New Year. There are pdf "reproducibles for calligraphy and other activities.
