RUSSIAN FOLK TAKES!
(And study review)
Hello everyone! We had a great week in music class as we reviewed the following details about Russia:
-The Russian flag
-Russian styles of dress
-The landscape and weather of Russia (the tundra, permafrost)
-Animals of Russia (the fox, snow leopard, tiger)
-Folk instruments of Russia (the psaltery, ocarina and tambourine)
The children have really enjoyed playing the instruments and learning about Russia! I think it is possible, though, that their favorite part of learning about Russia was listening to the folk stories today about "The Little Hot Bun" and "The Great Big Turnip".
Check out my video below for a recap on learning about Russia and my very own version of "The Little Hot Bun!"
QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR CHILD
1) What can you tell me about Russia?
2) Did you play the tambourine and the zither?
3) What animal ate "The Little Hot Bun?" The fox!
