For the Chinese New Year, the dragon in the Dragon Dance is 20 meters long. About how many feet long is it? [Hint: 1 meter = 39 inches] Show your work.
People celebrate Chinese New Year in our country, too. San Francisco and New York both have neighborhoods called “Chinatown,” where there are lots of Chinese shops and restaurants. These neighborhoods have parades with special dances, puppets, and more!
Most animal babies are raised by their mothers. But when a mother wolf has pups, the father helps out a lot, too! He guards the den and brings food to the family. As the pups grow up, he also plays with them and teaches them skills they need to live.
