Japanese Preschool Tea Ceremony

Last Thursday was the end of our Japanese theme unit and to celebrate the whole school participated in a lot of fun activities!

Students created three different crafts based on Japanese culture. They practiced picking things up with chopsticks and read traditional stories.

Finally we all got to sit down, take our shoes off and enjoy some Asian inspired snacks. The first course was Ramen Noodles that many enjoyed while others just tried a couple bites. We then sampled steamed rice, mandarin oranges and egg rolls. For desert we snacked on dessert versions of sashimi, spicy tuna rolls, and Philadelphia rolls.

The party was a great way to end the week and the kids had a great time experiencing Japan's unique culture first hand!
