~Why not experience “real learning” while having fun with your child?~ Where does the rice we eat every day come from? Children who only know the rice that lines the shelves of supermarkets will experience the entire process from rice planting to harvesting with all their senses in a rice paddy, a “classroom of nature.” By learning about the ingenuity of farmers who coexist with nature and nurture life, they will understand the preciousness of food and this is a “real food education experience” that will make their daily meals richer. *This program is an experience made possible by a grant from the “Children’s Dream Fund.” ——————-■3-part series This experience is a 3-part program that follows the life cycle of rice.
