Third graders brought and tasted homemade rice dishes as part of their annual rice celebration. They read the book "Everybody Cooks Rice" by Norah Dooley, which is about a girl who goes door to door looking for her brother only to find neighbors cooking different kinds of rice for dinner. Students introduced the kind of rice they brought -- from Chinese and Filipino dishes to rice pudding and Rice Crispy treats -- and told how it represents their family heritage.
