Things that change

This week we are reading about how many things change. We read a story about a little girl that does not fit in her shoes anymore. At first she felt sad but changed at the end and felt happy about getting new shoes.
There are all kind of changes. They make us feel all kinds of feelings.
The beginning of summer makes me happy for the start of summer vacation but sad because I will have to say good-bye to my 1st graders. Please post about a change you know about and how it makes you feel.

Chinese New Year

Today we read about Chinese New Year. We learned about many traditions. Children get red envelopes with lucky money. There are parades with dragons and lion dancers to chase away bad luck. We also read about the Chinese Zodiac. This year, 2013, will be the year of the snake. What year were you born and what is your sign? Do you think you are like your animal? Post please !
