Thursday, February 4th, 2016



Highlights:
Today we got to test our sense of taste!  Each student got to try 4 mystery food items, make a prediction about what it was, and then sort it by taste (sweet, salty, bitter, sour). 

Students in Mrs. Leung-Chow’s class got a chance to explore on the laptops.  We learned how to protect our passwords, safely search on the internet, create a bookmark and the secret of the “two fingers”.

We are learning how to say “hi” in different languages.  Did you know that besides English, students in our classes can speak Mandarin, Cantonese, Scottish, Burmese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Punjabi, French, Korean, Spanish, and Farsi?  If you know a special way to say “hi”, please share with your class tomorrow.


Homework:

Word list #8 this week.  Don’t forget to study for our quiz tomorrow! 

Tuesday: house, not, your, said
Wednesday: how, outside, inside, today
