Chinese New Year

Mr. Chris - 2nd grade

Walker students celebrate another culture

Second graders celebrated the Chinese New Year today. We learned that each of the 12 years of the Chinese Zodiac falls under a different animal sign. 2010 is the year of the Tiger. This year tells us that people born now will be forthright and sensitive. They also possess great courage.
Most of the second graders were born in the year of the Snake or Horse. Our teacher, Mr. Chris was born in the year of the Rat.
Part of our celebration involved trying new foods. We were able to try rice, egg rolls, sweet and sour sauce, and even a fortune cookie. We ate everything with chop sticks too.

What did you think of the celebration?
What was your favorite part?

I love the zodiac. I guess it would be pretty fun to do a celebration like that. What are the other animals like? I wish I knew. However, I would not like the menu. Except maybe the fortune cookie.

Hey batwo did you know that my brother is a pig on the Chinese Zodiac because he was born in 2007 and said that he is a pig because he is one nasty brother of mine.

I liked the food but eating with the chopsticks was horrible. I loved Mr. Chris' rice that he made. I also loved the fortune cookie and I liked the egg roll.
