Studying Japanese Culture in 3rd Grade

Schyler's class and Mrs. Urtz's class has been studying all about Japanese culture. One of the kid's mom's donated all these large t-shirts so the 2 classes could make kimonos for their class trip. Both classes went to Wegmans and watched how they make sushi and they all tried it. Of course none of the kids really liked it. Schyler said only the teachers did. Then they went on to a Japanese Restaurant and tried soup and some other food. She said it was a lot of fun. Here's a few photos of her handmade kimono. I took these outside at almost dark so these photos aren't the greatest.
