Night of the Ninjas

We watched a powerpoint about the Japanese Tea Ceremony. We learned that during this time people are very quiet and peaceful and they try to forget about things that might be worrying them. As a "can-do" we all had the chance to taste some tea during our own tea ceremony!

Didn't they come out beautiful??
