Cuyahoga Falls School
The Continent Song, Che Che Kule, It’s a Small World. Those songs are still ringing in my ears and I still find myself whistling these tunes. As you know these were the songs sung at the International Festival. Throughout the month we learned about all the continents and some of the individual countries within the continents. The students had fun learning about the climates, foods, clothes, and differences of how children attend school.
I wanted to thank all of those who came in and talked about different countries. This adds so much to International Festival month. All the presentations are fun, informative, and the children learn a lot and teachers enjoy it.
It never ceases to amaze me how much our students can learn in a short amount of time. They did a fabulous job with their lines and performing the songs. 
Not to mention how colorful the stage was with their costumes. I cannot give enough thanks to the people who prepared the food! I ended up in a food coma that night!
Kindergarten
In the kindergarten lesson we continued our work with grammar. We studied three articles, a, an, the. We learned that “a” hooks up with consonants, an is very picky. “And” only hooks up with vowels and “the” is not picky at all and hooks up with anything! We know a pronoun replaces a noun. We looked at the adjective which describes nouns and pronouns, the adverb which describes the verb and usually ends in “ly”, the conjunction which connects two sentences or thoughts and acts like a bridge and the three words we learned that do this are and, but, or.
My line time and the kindergarten class count to ten in 27 different languages (English, Spanish, Sign Language, German, French, Greek, Italian, Romanian, Russian, Tagalog, Polish, Irish, Welsh, Hebrew, Arabic w/the Lebanese dialect, Japanese, Hungarian, Swedish, Swahili, Korean, Serbo-Croation, Hindi, Flemish/Dutch, Malay, Cebuano, Kiswahili and Hindi.)
