In Ms. Jennifer, Ms. Savannah, and Ms. Heidi's classroom at Bright Adventures Pre-K, students are exploring different cultures and cuisines! Today, they enjoyed the story Hot Pot Night! by Vincent Chen. After reading, they had fun playing a Hot Pot game, making pretend food for their friends. Then, they got to experience their very own Hot Pot, using chopsticks to eat their noodles!
The students loved this hands-on cultural experience! A big thank you to Iron Wok for generously donating chopsticks for each child to use! 🥢✨
