We “traveled” to Japan recently in homeschool studies and highly enjoyed some Japanese cuisine. 🙂

We had “cucumber sushi”, ramen noodle soup (with grated carrot, green onions and homemade veggie stock), Soy sauce corn and a Japanese jello dish.

Thank you again to all our friends and families whom have read us library books this past year’s worth of studying around the world. We have highly enjoyed learning alongside of you all. And this run through Japan we also enjoyed some YouTube videos of a little girl showing us around her Japanese apartment and breakfast preparations together. I have loved seeing the progression of “ew, that’s gross” reactions to food from some of my (once) pickier eaters to “Wow, that’s different. We should try it!”

We also enjoyed some stainglass window coloring sheets as we have studied about aspects of ocean life.

(Nevermind my handing cat window baskets [complete with cat] and their strings obstructing some of the picture views.)

It was a blast wrapping up our two weeks worth of Japanese studies. Next up? Russia, Australia and we’ll finish out the school year and our studies through the world with Antarctica. 🙂
