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!

Making Tofu
7月
17日
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!

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!
