We studied the letter N in preschool today, and so we learned the word "Noodles!" Noodles are a very important staple in the Chinese diet, so the kids already loved the food. But today they learned just how fun of a word it is to say!

Everyone watches as
we stir the noodles.
Leah helps pick some out of the water with the strainer.
Olivia pulls up a
pile of noodles.
Cheryl holds the strainer.
Julia's turn to
take some out of the pot.
Luke tries to find a few more.
Emily and Leah were quite impressed that the noodles went in hard a crunchy and came out soft and chewy!
Everyone gets ready
to eat their noodles.
That's a lot of noodles, Emily. Do you think you can eat them all?
Julia knows her way around a plate of noodles and a pair of chopsticks! It didn't take her long to polish them all off.
Olivia, isn't this fun? We get more than a snack today. We get two lunches!! And we cooked it ourselves!
Leah tries out a new method of using chopsticks with noodles. The twisty-twirly method. And then the finger method. Both work fine.
Cheryl wastes no time in polishing off her noodles. That's a big bite, isn't it?
Luke is getting pretty good at using his chopsticks.
Do you think he can eat the whole bowl?
Camille doesn't seem as interested as the other kids.

Aaron has such a big smile!
