It's the 100th day of school! This is such a special day for our students. Being in school for 100 days is a huge accomplishment and it should be celebrated. My first graders had a very busy day.
This year is the year of the rat. It's one of the zodiac animals and according to myth the rat tricked the ox into giving him a ride. The rat jumped off and become first. In Chinese culture, rats are symbolized as clever, being quick thinkers, and being successful. The rats are also seen as a sign of wealth and surplus.
