Leap Year Newscast

The Grade Threes that I help out with twice a week did a news cast today. Here are some of the highlights that I thought you all should know:

1. New York City is in the midst of a week long typhoon
2. Beethoven died yesterday while hailing down a taxi in Taipei after his concert. The drunk taxi driver accidentally hit him.
3. A new world famous recipe has been created where you add every ingredient known to man into a pot and boil it.
4. A man-eating plant has been discovered in Canada. A woman bought a seed from a poor person, planted it and discovered that it had grown and was eating her children the next morning.
