Chinatown and Chinese New Year

2013 is the Year of the Snake.  I sure hope that's correct.  This snake can be use to review almost anything.  I'm using it to review names of plane shapes on one side and the other side is complex patterning of shapes.

I would like my marvelous munchkins to make this dragon puppet at an art station. 

 

This is the link to download and print the dragon puppet pattern.

I think I'm going to use the interactive tangrams site link for a learning station at the smart board.
