Soar into the Year of the Dragon by celebrating Chinese New Year | Nightly News: Kids Edition

Feeling the breeze — we explain the science behind wind. Then, we soar into the Year of the Dragon. We tell you everything you need to know about the Chinese New Year. We’re also celebrating Black History Month with a look at some pioneers and how you can learn more. And, words from the heart — we’ll tell you what heartwarming action these students just did that moved their teachers to tears. Plus, Elmo has been making headlines. Here’s how a social media post from Elmo set the world ablaze and we hear from Elmo himself! Then, we’ve got a preview of the other big game taking place on Sunday, and every pup is a winner on Puppy Bowl!
