Hello Summer Readers!
Across the world, food plays an important role in how we all live, in how we interact with other people like family and friends, and in the ways, we plan our days. Scandinavia in northern Europe is known for buffet style meals with variety. Some regions use chopsticks or clean hands to eat most of their meals. What is most common across all these regions is a love for food.
This week’s theme revolves around food, and how food is treated differently in each and every country on earth. Not only the foods they eat, but how they treat cooking and eating. This week we’ll be reading the story Ramen for Everyone by Patricia Tanumihardja. This story tells a heartwarming tale about perseverance, family, tradition, and the love that can be shared through food.
Our story will be accompanied by a food bingo game, in addition to a craft in which participants will have to consider the importance of texture to creating a truly gourmet meal!
If you can’t make it this week, no worries! Feel free to use this colouring sheet, to print at home or to pick it up from your local library branch. Don’t forget to check the week 5 online reading list.
Sincerely,
Nadine and A.J.
