Russian New Year

Jan. 14th is one of the Russian New Year's Days. New Year's Day is when the Russian's give presents vs Christmas and I thought this would be a fun day to share with Ana's class. I brought in two of our favorite Russian kids books. One is a general over view of Russia (explained in kid lingo) and the other one is about Father Frost (Russian Santa Clause). We also brought in some of our favorite Russian toys and items for them to play with. The kids loved it! Ana loved it! She was so proud and excited the entire time. I ended our talk with Ana passing out Russian candy. It was a great experience for all of us and I look forward to doing it again next year!
