A visit to the "Today's Calendar and Clock" page was an

a special series of days that I had been looking for --
Chinese New Year (scroll down at this site to find the
"Chinese Lunar" section).
The Year of the Tiger begins on January 28, 1998 (it's 4696

Other sites to help you get in the spirit for classroom
activities which incorporate traditional Chinese New Year
celebrations include the following:
