Class Experience

We will be crafting a lot in this  class.

Each class will be dedicated to a specific atribute of Russian Culture.
 
You will need  A PRINTER, scissors, PLAY clay, construction paper, glue, tape, crayons/markers. Also optional are : glitter, paint, stickers, stick-on rhinestones. 

We will talk about the folk costume, folk music, traditional dance, traditional art, traditional food, Ancient traditions and celebrations that are still alive.

We will also talk about most famous buildings and their architecture.

We will talk about Russian Classical Painters of the 18th, 19th and 20th century that were inspired by Traditional Russian Folk Art.

We will be paying special attention to one particular traditional technique each class.

The class is conducted in English with Russian words and traditional songs in Russian language (will be translated) by a Russian native speaker, so some accent to be expected.

In this class I am telling you about a country where I was born and have spent half of my life.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, My name is Vlada and I teach Russian language from US.
I was born and Russia and spend half of my life in there. I have gotten classical education in one of the oldest European Universities in Russia. 
I have lived in US for 15 years and I love teaching Russian to my students.

I come from a family of teachers and early childhood educators.I would love to share my methods of teaching the Russian language to kids through play, fun and association. 

Studies by Harvard University confirm that the creativity, critical thinking skills, and flexibility of the mind are significantly enhanced if children learn a second and a third language at a younger age. From zero to seven are believed to be a vital period in a child’s life. This is when the foundations for attitudes, thinking, and learning, among others, are laid down.

Happy Learning!
