Today we learned about sora mame (broad beans). We read a storybook about them and then our teachers showed us the actual beans that how they come in a pod. When our teachers show us the beans I said, “It’s the same,” referring to the storybook we read and “It’s so big!” because it is a lot bigger than other beans I have eaten. We listened intently and even got to sketch the beans so that we could remember what we learned about them. Our school cook prepared the beans for us to eat at lunch and I have to say, I’m not a fan. I didn’t really like them. It must be an acquired taste.
We had gymnastics class again and despite the encouragement from my teachers, I again elected to observe instead of participate.
