These are actually pictures of pictures of just a few bentos that my JHS students made during home economics class. I wasn't there when they made these, but tons of pictures where posted by the teachers' room and I just couldn't resist taking photos of them.
Japanese kids are taught to make "real" food in class. They'll cook up complete meals that I cannot see myself making at their age! I remember when I took home-ec class as a JHS student. We made very simple things like American-style pigs in a blanket and a whole lot of pastries. I won't lie, I really did enjoy the foods I made back then, but it would have been nicer to learn how to make slightly more challenging meals. These students of mine amaze me everyday.
I had a few kids in my Montessori class that would bring these. I always enjoyed seeing what they had and watching them enjoy their lunches too. What an awesome class idea!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing what my students make as well. It's so cool that they take the time to create characters out of them!
