Activity Lunch
Activity lunch for this month is Hiyashi Chuka (cold noodle). Summer Camp and Zo students enjoyed preparing their own toppings (hams, eggs, and cucumbers) and sauce on the top of noodles. Some children put the toppings on the top of noodles, some are laid toppings beside noodles neatly. It was a lot of fun to put topping with friends and tasted very special.

Nikkei Manor
Summer Camp students had a field trip to Nikkei Manor.
For first part of the trip, they stopped by Kelsey Creek Park, where everyone ran about to top speed and played games. After eating their bento lunches, everyone got back on the bus and they headed to Nikkei Manor. In the hall at Nikkei Manor, many residents were waiting for students. They performed a medley of 4 songs, “Tanabata,” “Umi,” “Usagi to Kame” and “Momotaro. “ Afterward students had a question time and passed out origami medals they made. Students had fun spending time with the Nikkei Manor residents. It really was a fulfilling field trip!

In response to the summer heat, the children tried making watermelon sherbet and ice cream. It seems like home-made desserts are especially tasty!

Making Tofu

Making Tofu
Last Friday in Megumi summer camp everyone observed how to make tofu.
As they watched, they learned about how tofu is made from soybeans and that edamame are also soybeans.
This is a picture of soy milk made from squeezing out the cooked soybeans. We all tried a little of the fresh soy milk and it tasted just like tofu!
We also made pancakes from the tofu byproduct "okara" as a snack. Finally, after putting in the nigari the soy milk hardened up a little, but we didn't manage to get it to quite tofu consistency.
It's easy to buy tofu in the stores, but making it on your own is another story!

Ikebana Class
Yesterday, Megumi summer camp students welcomed an ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement) sensei to their class and got a chance to experience making ikebana.
First, in advance everyone made their own flower vase by decorating a milk container. The students then started making their flower arrangements in the “moribana” style. The sensei gave them advice on which flowers to pick and then they arranged the flowers to their own taste. Everyone managed to make their own unique and beautiful ikebana!
