In this class, children will listen to a Nigerian storybook or folk tale narrated by the teacher and participate in an interactive session to learn more about Nigerian culture. The story/ folk tale will introduce children to Nigerian culture where the names of children, animals, way of living and cultural norms may be different from the child’s experience. The story has an interesting lesson and this will be discussed with the children at the end of the story session. During the story session, children will be shown pictures and encouraged to repeat words (e.g. names) to practice language with different rhythms and predict what would happen next. Teacher will be expressive to bring the story to life. After the story session, children will learn more about Nigeria including languages spoken, local food, ways of dressing, cultural norms, flag, animals and lots more. They will learn to greetings and how to count 1 - 10 in Yoruba (one of the many Nigerian languages). Children will be shown photos and have opportunities to ask curious questions! Overall, the class will help kids develop a love for learning about other cultures and a passion for reading. Class Structure: - Where is Nigeria?

Teacher expertise and credentials
I grew up in Nigeria and the culture flows through my veins! I love the uniqueness of the culture (e.g. multiple languages) and the similarities with other cultures across the world (e.g. life lessons). My passion is reading books from around the world and helping kids discover more about other cultures. I have read aloud storybooks to kids (including my four year old son) and learned how to adapt my reading style to draw children into the story and help them learn something new. Reviews
