Sushi Party

We had a great sushi party Thursday afternoon!  Students learned some of the words associated with sushi, the tools for rolling sushi (we made little cucumber rolls), and that wasabi is HOT! 

After the party, I did an impromptu poll:  Twelve children had tried sushi before today.  Thirteen said that they liked sushi now.  About five said they might kind of like sushi--they're not saying no to it, but not saying yes to it either.  The rest were vehement dislikes.

Every second grader at least tried their maki with a good attitude, which is all I ask.  Every child enjoyed the edamame (there's a new vegetable for your dinner tables!).

Thank you to the Hamersly-Piasky family for organizing the event, and to Mrs. Marks and Mrs. Maguire for coming and helping out!

Students should be able to tell you:

• Sushi actually means "vinegar rice."
• Sushi creation is an art, and eating it is an experience: one does not simply shove one's face full of food like we do with McDonald's burgers.
• Wasabi is molded into the shape of Mt. Fuji.
• Edamame are soybeans (like what is used to make TOFU!) and delicious!
