Today we celebrated Chinese New Year in our third grade classroom. We made fans, wrote about the zodiac signs, and colored a picture of a dragon. In honor of the fun theme day, we passed out yummy fortune cookies. The students had a lot of fun comparing their fortunes and deciding what they meant. The best part of the day was when a little boy comes up to me and says “My fortune is kinda weird.” I took the fortune and read it aloud.
‘You will soon have a romantic encounter.’
I giggled to myself.
Another little girl approached behind Boy #1. “Mine says the same thing.” She stated disappointedly
I giggled to myself some more.
What I wanted to say: “It’s a match made in Heaven! You two should fall in love! What wonderful fortunes! Hooray for Chinese New Year!”
What I did say: “That’s cool; have a seat.”
I love teaching. (:
Hahaha!

"That's cool; have a seat." Haha!
