We had a 90- minute delay this morning, but that didn't stop us from celebrating Chinese New Year.
Chinese New Year was yesterday. And this new year is the year of the snake. We learned that there are 12 special animals in the Chinese zodiak and that this year is the Year of the Snake.
We read a nonfiction book about China. We read a biography about a boy who lives in Chinatown.
The highlight of our day was the 'Chopstick Challenge'. Each person made an estimate as to how many marshmallows they thought they could pick up in 1 minute using chopsticks. Mr. Forshaw and Ms. Goldstein tried it out too. Mr. Forshaw holds the record at 51 marshmallows in 1minute!
