Extra Credit and Rice!

Room 205 recently read a book entitled Everybody Cooks Rice by Norah Dooley.


In the story, a brother and sister go around from house to house in their neighborhood and sample all kinds of rice. As they go to each house, they realize that Everybody Cooks Rice.

As we made connections to this story, we realized that our classmates also have a number of ways their families cook rice. How does your family cook rice?

If you would like to share your family tradition with our class, please feel free to bring in just enough rice for each student to have one taste. We would love to expand our horizons and learn more about the diverse cultural traditions within our classroom community!
