The children in Miss C. Daly’s room read about the Chinese New Year today. The Chinese year of the Rooster will begin on the 28th of January.
There are 12 Chinese zodiac signs, in the following order: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Each sign is named after an animal, and each animal has its own unique characteristics. The Chinese believe that people born in a particular year take on the characteristics of the animal associated with that year. You can find your year and the animal associated with it by typing your date of birth here.
