Take out your SUBMISSION TRACKING SHEET so I can see it on your table top. If you have any questions, just ask.

  2. Describe an animal that can be seen outside at this time of year.

  3. According to Chinese New Year traditions, people are suppose to wear red during this time. Red symbolizes fortune and luck. Do you think red represents this? Explain.

  40. Yes, I do think the best things are free. I think this because if you have someone special in your likeyou don't have to pay to have them or get them. They are free in your life, but if there is something else that is special like an iPod or an mp3, digital camera, or cds they won't be as special because they arent free and you may loose whatever you had that was special to you. You may loose whoever was special to you, but you still will always remember them, and you will know that they were always there for you.
