More About China... Pandas & Food


Pandas were the topic of conversation early last week! We read about them, highlighted important information, and then reported facts to our classmates!  On Friday, we learned how to use chopsticks.  Four families brought Asian food for us to try, and it was YUMMY!  We tried noodles, sticky rice, eggrolls, and a spicy chicken dish! I've posted some of the students' quotes below.
