On November 26th, Chinese teacher, Jingli Wang with volunteer teacher, Jiayi Liang were invited to hold a Chinese Food Experience Activity for cooking club students in Eleanor W.Graham Middle School by the Community School Coordinator, Ms. Chery Warman. Chinese fry rice and dumplings gave an amazing experience to students.
Firstly, Jingli Wang introduced the culture of Chinese dumplings with an important meaning of the reunion of a whole families, and Jiayi presented the process of making dumplings. Especially in making dumplings, they learned how to make dumplings step by step, like to knead the dough, make the wrapper and seal it. These students really enjoyed the process of making dumplings and most of them tried the dumplings at the first time. After tasting it, they found that Chinese dumplings looked like a traditional local food, the Perogies, which are their favorites. A student of Grade 6, Ethen said that dumplings were so good, I liked dumplings. And I also found that they have something in common between Chinese and Canadian food. I wanted to try much more Chinese food. After activity, Ms. Chery Warman posted this news to Facebook, Community families and principal left favorable comments for it.
