As different cultures have their own signs for the New Year and the implications of people’s fate when they were born in particular years, there are twelve zodiac animals in Chinese culture. Grade four students were so happy to represent these zodiac animals with their own mask crafts. Every student was excited about the performance at the assembly day. As part of the celebration of Chinese New Year, fourth graders spoke Chinese to describe their own zodiac animals and mimicked the animals with their body movements. It was a pleasure and excitement to see how students tried their best writing down the characters, cutting out the animal pictures, making their own animal masks, and discussing the best way to mimic the zodiac animal. No wonder in this video you could tell the confidence on every student’s face, and of course you will not miss it and just see how proud students are of themselves!
