Russian Dinner

Last week we let Ethan pick a country to study all week.  He picked Russia, so we spent the week looking up Russian recipes, looking up Russian/English words, coloring pictures of St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, and watching travel documentaries of Russia.

We finished up our study with an authentic Russian dinner of schshi (shee, cabbage soup), pelmeni (pierogi), and black bread.  For our dinner, we each picked a Russian name and used as many Russian words in our dinner time conversation as we could: voda (water), stol (table), koshka (cat), dom (house), derevo (tree), and lozkha (spoon).
