A molcajete (mo̞lkaˈxe̞te̞ or mol-cah-hay’-tay; Mexican Spanish, from Nahuatl molcaxitl)[needs IPA] is a stone tool, the traditional Mexican version of the mortar and pestle,[1] similar to the South American batan, used for grinding various food product. The molcajete was used by pre-Hispanic Mesoamerican cultures, including the Aztec and Maya, stretching back several thousand years. Traditionally carved out of a single block of vesicular basalt, molcajetes are typically round in shape and supported by three short legs. They are frequently decorated with the carved head of an animal on the outside edge of the bowl, giving the molcajete the appearance of a short, stout, three-legged animal. The pig is the most common animal head used for decoration

Now that Jeanne and her family are out of Manzanar, she needs to try and live a somewhat normal life. She goes to regular school now and in the beginning she was very self conscious about it considering she was one of the only orientals.

Jeanne says “ This is exactly what I wanted. It also gave me the first sure sign of how certain intangible barriers might be crossed.” (pg.163) Also, Jeanne made one good friend Radine.

My favorite board game growing up is Mancala. Mancala is a wooden board game with gemstone created as an Asian and African game originally played with stones or seeds. Each side of the board game has 12 small cups and one large cup on each end. Each small cup gets four stones and whoever goes first must try to get there stones in the large cup at either end of the board. The number of stones in the small cups could build up to much more as each player has a turn. If you drop your stones in the large cup either end of the board you get another go, if it lands in one of the small cups on either side of the board then it's no longer your ago at the finish placing all your stones in each cup. I think this is an excellent game for math strategy
