but I have much sincerity to make friend with your classroom
Let me self to introduce:
My name is Shiu Jin Tzung. I am thirty-three years old. 
I am teaching in a elementary school.(Taiwan chayi)
I have 32 students(15 boys and 17 girls),
In the web , I read them:
"Kentucky believes that all students can master essential school skills. We accept the responsibility to teach all students to our fullest potential because it is our mission to provide an opportunity for students to become lifelong learners in a positive, challenging, nurturing and supportive environment."
and I believe ,too.
by way of world window (internet)
Maybe We can find some beautiful things :
like the web says:
"We are going to enjoy the holidays by studying other cultures around the our world.  We will compare their traditions with ours, and hopefully learn to respect each others differences.  If you want to travel with us......." 
This is a very special experence
I use "yahoo" to help me search "elementary,classroom"
and I visit some web ,
althought my english is bad.but I try understand it and find a classroom(Mrs. Tina's primary classroom) suited us

"in China the Chinese New Year which takes place toward the end of January. Now officially called the "Spring Festival," it is a time when children receive new clothing, eat luxurious meals, receive new toys, and enjoy firecracker displays. An important aspect of the New Year celebration is the worship of ancestors. Portraits and paintings of ancestors are brought out and hung in the main room of the home"
