Very Special Guests

This week we had two very special guests visit our classroom! We loved each of you and are so grateful for these cool experiences!

On Tuesday, Mrs. Brown from the Dover Times had the opportunity to come visit us in our classroom! Coolest experience YET! We had such a good time telling her all about our classroom and our class blog. Ms. Race invited her hoping to get more community involvement in our blog! We are excited to see what comments are to come in our future! Thanks Mrs. Brown...you are pretty awesome!
We had so much to share! 
We made the FRONT PAGE!!!!! 

Next, since we have been talking all about vegetables this week, Mrs. Race, our teacher's mom, brought us some homemade vegetable soup to try! Most of us liked it but some of us weren't too crazy about the vegetables! Thanks Mrs. Race!

Food

This week we have been reading The Ugly Vegetables. In this story, the little girl tells about her mother growing a garden of Chinese vegetables. The mother then made a soup from the vegetables that supposedly would make your belly laugh it was so good. A few of us have enjoyed different vegetables we have gotten at Mulan's or New China. It makes us wonder if these are the types of Chinese vegetables the mother grew in her garden? So here is something we would like know....

1. What vegetables do you like to eat?
2. Have you ever eaten Chinese vegetables? 
3. Do you think Chinese vegetables are really ugly or did the author exaggerate the title? 
4. Do you have any good recipes for cooking vegetable soups?


We know we are suppose to eat vegetables but...we are wondering where can we find these real Chinese vegetables? Do we just find them at the chinese restaurant or does a grocery store sell these unique vegetables?
