This week I read two books. The first book I read was called "Bees". The second book I read was called "Emperor Penguins". These are some facts I learned about bees. Bees make the buzzing sound by flapping their wings and their wings touch to make the buzzing sound. Bees can be different colors. Some can be red blue or even bright green! Bees live everywhere except the North and South Poles. Bees build homes called nests. Honeybees live in a group called colonies and their homes are called hives. As many as 70,000 bees can live in one hive. That is about as many people as go to the Super Bowl!! Only female bees have a stinger. Worker honey bees sting only once and then die.

I am going to write about Chinese New Year because my parents come from China and Chinese new year is February 16th. Here are some facts I learned about Chinese New Year. Chinese New Year is also called Lunar New Year. Chinese New Year was created to welcome spring but Chinese New Year does not happen on the same day every year because not all the time the groundhog sees his shadow. There are 12 symbols for the Chinese zodiac. The 12 symbols are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, rooster, Dog and Pig. The year of 2018 is the year of the Dog. I was born in 2010 and I am a Tiger and my sister was born in 2014 and she is a Horse. Chinese New Year is very important because we welcome a new symbol. A Chinese New Year tradition is putting out fireworks and putting up lanterns. Chinese New Year lasts for about 15 days. This is what me and my family do on Chinese New Year this year. We went to Chinatown and we got toys and we got clothes. The clothes I got was ...

The animals I saw were fish, jellyfish, birds, stingray, sharks, sea urchin, sea otter, seals, and sea lions.
