First peak

This Chinese toy reminded me of mardi gras. All of the fun colors in the toy represent peoples costumes plus most people wear masks with feathers on it to hide who they are on this day. Mardi gras is french for Fat Tuesday. This day falls on Tuesday, which is the day before Ash Wednesday. Some people prefer to say that Fat Tuesday is to eat fatty, foods or to confess/give up things before Ash Wednesday. Many people dress up with fun scarves, masks, shoes, etc.

The most popular places that throw big celebrations is New Orleans, Venice, and Spain. In Medieval times, carnevlevarium means to take away or to eliminate meat. A lot of historians think that the first actual American Mardi Gras was created n March 3 1699. This had happened when the French explorers Iberville and Bienville landed in Louisiana, What is home of the lighting city, New Orleans. 1827, a group of students decided to celebrate  Mardi Gras dancing on streets of New Orleans dressed in coustumes for fun.People started to wear crzy costumes on this event.

 My first glance at this pig reminded me of bacon.bacon is a cured meat that is from pigs.It is cured buy using quantities of salt. In the United States bacon is usually only made from pork belly, which is the pigs belly. There is also other kinds of bacon like turkey bacon and Canadian bacon.You can eat bacon in any kind of food, such as BLT, Omelet, Rumaki, Tenderloin, Potatoes, Cob salad.

There are also many different cuts of bacon such as Middle bacon, Back bacon, Cottage bacon, Jowl bacon, and Slab bacon.In the United Kingdom & Ireland, they either grill or fry their bacon and in Japan their bacon is usually smocked. Australia & New Zealand usually use middle bacon; however, in the United States we use all different types of bacon. Bacon is a processed meat and half of its calories come from saturated fat which increases your bad cholesterol.

 

       

The sight of this seashell reminded me of different oceans. There are 4 different oceans on Earth, Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian ocean. All ocean's are salt water based. In the United States, Hawaii is surrounded by an ocean called the Pacific ocean. The ocean is a home for many sea animals, like sharks, jellyfish, sea turtles, sea horses, stingray, etc. Sea creatures arent the only ones that like the ocean. People who live anywhere near an ocean like to cool off on a hot summer day by taking a dip in the ocean. Some people also like to fish in the ocean too.

The largest ocean is the Pacific ocean, North America, Australia, South America, and Asia border this ocean. Asia, Africa, and Australia border the Indian ocean. Atlantic is bordered by North America, Europe, South America, and Africa.Arctic ocean is surrounded by North America. The Southern ocean i surrounded by South America and Antarctica.Oceans are 3/4 of Earth and we need to take care of them. Many kids and adults make programs to go clean up our beaches or people sometimes just do it for fun too.After all mostly everything ends up in our oceans.
