Room 5ers...well, most Room 5ers, had a sushi lunch last Friday. A couple of weeks earlier in library, some of us had been reminiscing about how we missed the Friday groups we did earlier in the year. That led to talking about the cooking group...which led to sushi (somehow)...which led Mikayla to hop up and take a survey to see how many in our class liked sushi.
Enough for a sushi lunch!
That was step one. Step two was making a list of what we would need. Step 3 was different students volunteering...or volunteering their moms... to bring ingredients.
Isabella quickly volunteered her mom to make the rice!
On Friday, we had lots of help! Sonja, Heather, Sunni, Sara, Rachel, Lauri, Carol...
and most of the Room 5ers who participated in the lunch, got to try their hand at rolling!
Mikayla is a master-roller! She's already a chef at 11 years old!
I think Sonja makes sushi quite often...she had it down! She thought ahead and brought gloves for the kids who wanted to roll... we wanted to stay sanitary!
Now to David.
David might be what you call a 'picky eater.' His diet is not real versatile... After hearing all the excitement over sushi, David decided he was going to try it.
Even rolling it was a stretch for him....the texture is one thing he doesn't like. But look at him roll! YeeHaw, David!
He tried to try eating the sushi...but didn't quite make it. We were all proud of him for attempting it!
Look at all this!
What a feast!!!
Can you tell we loved our sushi lunch?
