Today, out of the blue, Riley asked me, “Teacher, but you look like Chinese people.”

I told him I was American though. And he got really confused and insisted again that I looked like Chinese people.

Tuesday is Science Day. I taught them about matter, solids, liquids, and gases. There was a sentence that said that boats can float on salt water better than fresh water. Ok, I already knew that.. but I’ve forgotten why.

Ting-Ting raised her hand and said something about the salt making air or lifting things better or something to that effect. And I asked her how did she know that, and she said she read it in a book, so I said “That’s very interesting!” and quickly moved on to solids.
