Most 1st Grade classes stayed in Ethiopia this week and enjoyed Silly Mammo, a folktale retold by Yohannes Gebregeorgis (founder of Ethiopia Reads).
Students loved hearing about the mishaps of Mammo – a silly boy who can never seem to get things right.
It was also a great opportunity for all of us to start getting familiar with another alphabet; the book is written in both English and Amharic! We can’t wait to start learning the different symbols of the language while we work on a video project teaching our alphabet to friends in Ethiopia. Stay tuned!
