Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year or Spring Festival, is an important festival in many Asian countries, and Lunar New Year celebrations are being held more and more in Western cities in recent years too, including San Diego. Lunar New Year is the festival that celebrates the beginning of a new year on the traditional lunisolar Chinese calendar. It was traditionally a time to honor deities as well as ancestors, and it has also become a time to feast and visit family members. The Chinese base their New Year celebration on the lunar calendar instead of the solar one used in the West. Therefore, people who follow the solar calendar always celebrate the New Year on January 1st, but the Lunar New Year will depend of the moon. Usually, it is celebrated in February, yet the exact day will vary from year to ear. This year just happens to be on Feb. 1, 2022. It is our mission to invite educators to explore their own intersecting identities, analyze their mindsets, and hone their skills. We seek to create equity-centered, asset-based systems by implementing and sustaining positive changes that benefit those we serve. Our efforts are focused on creating equitable access with consistently strong outcomes for all students, paying special attention to the needs of historically marginalized populations. This resource guide will provide information and resources to support the celebration of the Chinese New Year.

Year of the Tiger

2022 is the year of the Water Tiger, a year of all types of extremes. In Chinese Astrology, the Chinese Zodiac Animal Signs are grouped in six pairs according to the balance between Yin and Yang. Each of the six groupings is associated with one of six destiny aspects known as Houses. These Houses influence the overall characteristics of the time period in which the Chinese Zodiac Animal Sign rules. The second House is the House of Expansion, which is associated with the Tiger and Rabbit. In the Year of the Tiger, there will be expansion. I want to see my culture and my history represented in the curriculum because it's important not only for me to know my history, but others as well.
