folklore materials for grades 3-4

[nataliek at UALBERTA.CA]

Dear List members,

I'm writing to announce some new materials that may be of interest.   
Edmonton has a large bilingual program with many schools offering  
Ukrainian bilingual education.  In response to student and teacher  
requests, we have created a set of materials for children in grades 3  
and 4.  These include children's games, with both videos and  
step-by-step instructions, given by the children themselves.  There  
are digital models of both a village house and a city apartment, again  
with videos of a woman telling how she saw a house spirit or domovyk.   
We have baba showing us her garden and pictures of various veggies,  
all labeled.  There are animals on the farm, complete with animal  
sounds.  In other words, the resources for elementary teaching are  
many.  Furthermore, we add new materials on a regular basis.  The  
website can be accessed at http//www.arts.ualberta.ca/uvp/School/  It  
is also linked to our regular website (see below and look under  
bilingual education).
