Yesterday, our 3rd graders had the opportunity to participate in a beautiful Japanese tea ceremony experience connected to their Module 3 reading study of Tea with Milk and Grandfather’s Journey by Allen Say.

Students learned about important Japanese traditions and vocabulary including kimono, calligraphy, matcha tea, ceremony, and tradition. They also watched a traditional tea ceremony demonstration and sampled matcha tea along with a special Japanese sweet treat.

A huge thank you to Sachiko and the friends from the Chado Urasenke Tankokai Philadelphia for sharing their time, culture, and traditions with our students. Experiences like these help bring learning to life in meaningful and memorable ways! 🍵
