Well, you're not supposed to today because you'd be "sweeping out good luck." So I'm trying my best! I'd love to have her in Mandarin classes, but I just haven't been able to.  I'm really going to try to next fall....

Hey, you are trying and that is all that can be asked of you. You'll know more as time goes along.
I teach school, and there is a lot of great teaching material on Chinese New Year! When the time comes, if you checked online or at a teachers' supply store, you would find all sorts of workbooks and books to read about Chinese New Year. They are usually reproducible books. You could make copies, so you could reuse the books. That way, you could get material on her grade/learning level, and many of the pages in these books are fun to do as well. She could do a few at home when she isn't doing schoolwork. It is just a thought.
