Peru: Llama and the Great Flood – A Folktale from Peru

- Date: 03.1.11

Our last stop in South America?  PERU!

This week First Graders shared the classic Peruvian folktale: Llama and the Great Flood – A Folktale from Peru by Ellen Alexander.

This beautifully illustrated story reminded us a lot of the Biblical tale of Noah’s Ark.  It’s interesting to see how the Peruvian story involves the Andes Mountains since they are such an important part of that region of the world.

And the Amharic Word of the Week is: OK (pronounced “ish-ee”).
