February 10th marks the beginning of the Chinese New Year. We will celebrate the Chinese New Year all month long at our Do It Yourself station, located behind the children's computers.
Activities this month include:
- Make your own snake (to honor "The Year of the Snake")
- Learn to write the Chinese symbol for "Good Luck"
- Solve some Tangram puzzles
- Complete a Chinese math worksheet
You can find also learn about the Chinese Zodiac! There 12 animals that appear on the Chinese Zodiac calendar: rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. Your Chinese zodiac animal is determined by the year you were born (those who have birthdays in January or February may have the previous year's animal, depending on when the Chinese New Year started that year). You can use
this calculator to find out your animal.
Each animal has characteristics that supposedly describe you. Miss Tammy was born in the Year of the Pig. Do you think these characteristics describe her?
- People born in the year of the Pig are "good students. They are honest and brave. They always finish a project or assignment."
What is your Chinese Zodiac animal? Do you think the characteristics describe you? Fill out a survey at Miss Tammy's desk this month!
