At Harry's class, I did the circle time of explaining Chinese New Year -- mostly as an inquiry lecture - asking them lots of questions and encouraging their questions. I told them Nick could answer the questions they had about the flickr photo set he put together. What is the food in the first flickr photo? Is something sweet?
