On December 22 Scott and I went to Pacific Primary in the morning to make sushi with the kids. Actually Scott did most of the work - but I helped with entertaining Cassandra and supervising the kids when needed! In hindsight it actually went really, surprisingly well. All the kids participated and were very cooperative. Almost everyone gobbled up their rolls too! We brought rice, crab, egg, cucumber and avacado for the fillings - yum! Calista's teacher Eric said that he could tell it was a really successful activity - he compared it to giving the kids chocolate - because they all stayed seated, were quiet and concentrated the whole time. :-)Scott would like me to mention that we were inspired to do this after learning about another parent making Challah bread with the kids in honor of their family's Jewish heritage. Although we aren't Japanese, we definitely have a yen for making sushi (no pun intended - ha!) and Calista is currently obsessed with eating at Tokyo Go Go - a great sushi restaurant on 16th Street. She can even say, "arigato" which is thank you in Japanese.
