Kujira, Zo, and Kuma children made one Japanese dish, called sanshoku-donburi, three color rice bowl dish. Children enjoyed preparing their own toppings (seasoned ground pork, scrambled eggs, and green peas)on their bowls. It was a lot of fun to make "donburi" with friends and tasted very special.

In February, we enjoyed the puppet show by Mimi Bunko. Children watched “the large turnip” and “the red demon that cried.” It was an enthusiastic performance, and the children were able to participate by shouting to encourage or singing a song and so they were able to enjoy the performance very much.

This month’s “Megumi’s Garden Lunch” menu was “Tofu Chanpuru,” which is stir-fried tofu and vegetables. This is a dish from Okinawa Island, the southern part of Japan, and chanpuru means to “scramble up” in the Okinawan dialect. We “chanpuru-ed” some tofu, eggs, and vegetables up to make a very nutritious dish!
Kujira students (the kindergarten class) went to the Story Book Theater in Kirkland to watch the play “Pinocchio.” The play involved many children’s performances and it was a play that was produced so that everyone could enjoy. Everyone in Kujira laughed until their bellies ached, and seemed to really enjoy the play.
One thing that was fun for the children was to be able to ride in a big van together on the way back to school. Just with driving on the off-ramp from the freeway, everyone was full of excitement with saying “Exit!”
