In preparation for the Cultural Fair, the students have been hearing and discussing folktales from the countries they are studying in their homerooms. Kindergarten students heard the short story, "Will You Marry Me, Mouse?" and tales from Goha the Wise Fool both based from Turkey. First grade students enjoyed hearing The Girl Who Wore Too Much and the beginning of The Tale of Two Rice Birds, traditional folktales from Thailand. The second grade students heard one version of Baba Yaga and Bearhead which are folktales from Russia. In preparation for their study of Spain, third grade students heard Medio Pollito and The Beautiful Butterfly. Fourth grade students completed some research on the Internet as a group and heard The Frog King from Kenya. After looking up information on various atlases about Egypt, the students heard and discussed two myths.
Students will continue to hear folktales and complete work from an atlas for the next week or two.
