The children were very excited to start their day as they all were looking forward to today`s special "Mochitsuki", the pounding of rice to make mochi.
After morning circle, they were divided into two teams. Then, they all prepared for the activity by washing their hands and wearing their cute aprons.
They all listened attentively as the teacher showed them the materials and ingredients to be used. They also took turns pounding the rice.
What a great way to experience Japanese tradition at a young age.
