I agree whole-heartedly! I teach first-grade and for several years, before cooking was banned in our classrooms due to allergies, we would make dumplings in class during Chinese New Year. I would prepare the dumpling filling (yes, raw meat) at home and in class, parent volunteers and I would teach the kids how to wrap the dumpling skins around the meat. After the kids were done wrapping the dumplings, we would throw them in a pot of boiling water and then eat them! The kids LOVED it, as did I! It was a fantastic cultural experience for our kids and a great way to get Asian parents involved in our classroom.
