This week both Kindergarten and First Grade students moved on to an exciting new place: Russia!
One interesting fact we learned is that Russia is actually considered part of two continents: Europe and Asia. The part of Russia to the west of the Ural Mountains is grouped with Europe, and the part to the east is grouped with Asia.
In honor of this unique area, First Grade students read The Impossible Riddle by Ellen Jackson.
We loved trying to figure out how the old farmer might outwit the powerful tsar.
