Rice Cake Pounding Celebration!

Today was our annual rice cake pounding celebration! This is a fun, interactive, and delicious Japanese tradition that we love! All of IAAS and the volunteer parents joined together on this special day. We're all so excited to bring our Mochi home to eat! YUM




Let's roll our Mochi with Whales!






We use sticky rice to make Mochi!


ready, set, pound!





Wow look at what we made!


Cool!



Mochi reminds us of play-dough!


Flamingo A can't wait to begin!




Watching our friends is so much fun!





The rice smells super delicious!



Flamingo B is so excited to pound rice!





Look at our Mochi!





Even our teachers get to try!


Dolphins are waiting patiently for their turns!







Look how far you can stretch Mochi!




We were so glad to have our rice cake pounding celebration today! We enjoyed each and every step of making Mochi and we look forward to eating it at home! Thank you to all of the volunteer parents for your help! What a special day it was, we can't wait for next year!
