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, we got to take a video detour and watch the animated version of Patricia Polacco’s classic book, Rechenka’s Eggs.
Then we talked a bit about the history of Faberge’s eggs and their meaning to those in Russia who celebrate Easter.
