Chop! Chop!
In the spirit of the Chinese New Year, the Year of the Dog, we made paper lanterns last Friday and today we explored chopsticks! We read the book called Chopsticks by one of my favourite authors, Amy Krouse Rosenthal.You can check out my blog post from last year about Amy by clicking here.
The book is full of fun illustrations and a simple message about the strength of friendship but at the same time reminds us how we can learn to be independent when we need to be!
We were each given a pair of bamboo chopsticks and explored how to hold them and tried to pick up something off our desk. It takes plenty of practice and persistence to get the hang of it! Students got to take home their chopsticks at the end of the day.
There are plenty of ‘how-to’ videos out there, but here is one that we watched in class. Check it out!
Have you ever used chopsticks before? What is your favourite food to eat with chopsticks?
Dear Mrs. Sullivan,
I really liked that book, it is very interesting. It was really fun using chopsticks because i barely EVER use them only if i’m playing with them. on Wed. Feb. 28, 2018 I ate with them. Thanks for giving them to us. 🙂

I love the book because Chopsticks taught me about friendship. I like using chopsticks because it feels nice in my hand. I like to eat sushi with it and dragonfood.
