Daisies Have a Tea Party!

In our meeting today, we learned about another culture - Japanese.

We talked about where Japan is, what the people look like, where they go to school and what is important in the Japanese culture.

Then we learned about one of the most fun things in the Japanese culture - a tea ceremony!

We had our own Japanese tea ceremony - complete with tea (we cheated a little as we had southern sweet tea instead of green tea) and rice cakes (sort of like rice.......).

The girls each brought their favorite doll/stuffed animal to participate in our ceremony. Mikaela chose to bring Toni (her new American Girl doll) and Xander brought Ele (who would have guessed!).
