Chibi

This week we have been reading Chibi, a true story from Japan, which is about a duck family that lives in an office park pool in Toyko. They become famous because they attract the interest of a lot of people.

Well since we are reading about Japan, Ms. M decided to bring Japan to the class and heat up Odon Miso noodle soup, a popular broth soup of Japan.
