文章-难忘元宵 Celebrate the Lantern Festival

圆圆满满的元宵节刚刚过去，

松江唯一IB幼儿园——

松江学乐星青橙幼儿园的宝贝，

还对元宵节回味不已。

到底是怎样的元宵活动，

让宝贝们如此难以忘怀呢？

看图猜节日

"Setting off fireworks, watching lanterns, guessing lantern riddles and making Tangyuan..."  the children look at the pictures and guess which festival it is.

哇，都猜对了！就是元宵节。猜对的孩子都兴奋激动极了。这份参与感和成就感，让孩子们对元宵留下第一个深刻印象。节日的欢快氛围也就这样打开了！

Wow, you guessed right! It's the Lantern Festival.

赏花灯和制挂饰

看图竞猜环节，孩子们对元宵节的热情被调动了起来。他们纷纷说起元宵节印象，有的说元宵节的花灯最好看了，各种形状，五颜六色的；有的说元宵节的汤圆甜甜的，吃汤圆还表示团团圆圆；甚至还有宝贝念起了儿歌“正月十五闹元宵，狮子龙灯踩高跷。”IB幼儿园的宝贝果然个个勤于思考、积极探究、知识渊博。

Talking about the "Lantern Festival", the children had a heated discussion. Some said that the lanterns of the festival were the best, with various shapes and colors;  Others said the Tangyuan (also called Yuanxiao), small dumpling balls made from glutinous rice flour, are sweet.  Eating them also means family reunion.  There are children who read the children's song "Lantern Festival” on the 15th day of the first month, and enjoy the lion dance, dragon dance and stilt walking.  All the children in IB kindergarten are diligent thinkers and knowledgeable inquirers.

有的孩子提到上海豫园灯会。今年很多宝贝还没有看过豫园灯会呢，老师找来了各种照片和视频，让宝贝线上赏灯。孩子们在照片中发现：相比白天，夜晚亮灯后的豫园更加美丽！很多宝贝当场就表示明年园校一定要要去看豫园花灯！豫园花灯给宝贝留下了关于元宵节的第二个深刻印象。

The Yu Garden Lantern Festival display in Shanghai is a must for many people during this holiday. Many children have not seen this year's magnificent display of lights. The teachers brought various photos and videos, so that the children can feel " The flavor of Spring Festival" ahead of time. Compared with the daytime, the Yu Garden is beautiful under the night lights, and the children sigh.

巨大的老虎灯寓意着今年是虎年，一盏盏漂亮的花灯把豫园装扮的格外喜庆。The huge tiger lamp symbolizes that it is the Year of the Tiger. A spectacular lantern adorns the Yu Garden.

欣赏好花灯，孩子们打算给元宵节制作生肖挂饰。这可是孩子们自己为元宵节创作的新的庆祝方式哦~看，美不美？关于元宵节的深刻印象，生肖挂饰算一个！

After enjoying the lanterns, the children made Chinese zodiac ornaments.

猜灯谜

The Lantern Festival is inseparable from "guessing lantern riddles". The children took the stage in turn, selected the lantern riddle cards, used their knowledge and thought carefully to reveal the answer.  They competed fiercely for today's "Little champion of guessing lantern riddles." The atmosphere was so intense, even our teachers were eager to join in.

包汤圆

“卖汤圆，卖汤圆，学乐星宝贝的汤圆圆又圆。”孩子们要自己包汤圆自己吃哦~看，每个孩子都不甘示弱，把汤圆的步骤谨记心中，撸起袖子，动起手来。他们在默默较量着：谁的汤圆最大？谁的汤圆最圆？谁的汤圆最有创意？最后，看着自己包好的满满几盘又圆又大的汤圆，孩子们内心里的成就感又加深了几分。这是宝贝们对元宵节的第五个深刻印象。

"Sell Tangyuan! Sell Tangyuan!  X.L.X children's Tangyuan are the roundest." The teacher prepared the flour in advance and distributed it to the children. Whose Tangyuan are the largest? Whose Tangyuan are the roundest? Whose Tangyuan are the most creative? The children rolled up their sleeves and busied their hands. Children's Tangyuan are the largest, their Tangyuan are the roundest, and their Tangyuan are the best!

我们看到，这个元宵节，给松江学乐星的IB学习者们留下了5个深刻的印象。带着这些深刻印象，元宵节的美好寄寓将在他们身上流传下去！未来，每个学乐星宝贝都能成为具有中国心的世界小公民。他们将勇于跨越文化鸿沟理解新鲜事物，也将懂得如何传承传统文化。

No matter when and where, our purpose has always been to insist that every child can become an internationally-minded citizen of the world with a Chinese heart. We have the courage to try new things while preserving our own traditional culture.
