I learned that there is many ways to teach literacy. In the math class the teacher would read the problem aloud no visual and then have the students work out the problem on their papers with drawings. In the music class they had a paper to follow along with and then the teacher taught the dance step by step.

After attending the Russian school it was so interesting and I enjoyed to see how the students interacted with the  teachers and peers. In the math class it was interesting to see the teacher focus in the critical thinking skills instead of the basics.

In the math class, the students used pictures and numeric strategies to get the answer to word problems. I thought this was interesting because I see American students doing the same thing. It was difficult to see literacy in the math class other than their drawings. In addition, while observing the dance class, the students were being taught a dance step-by-step. This was a class I feel that I did not witness much literacy in. I also wish we were able to observe more classes.

Visiting the Russian school today was a great experience. I enjoyed seeing how the children value their culture and developing their language. I thoroughly enjoyed speaking to three girls about their experiences outside of the Russian school and their experiences being bilingual in public school.  These conversations were the best part of the experience for me.  I do wish we were able to have more interaction with the students.  With everyone speaking Russian around me,  I also was able to relate to how an ESL student may feel in an English classroom.

I didn’t observe Russia. Literacy. I was actually in math class. But if it is similar to how they taught Math I know the educator stated that it is very different from American math. I saw a lot of critical thinking skills being used. I wish I had been able to observe some other classes!

This is Amy. I’m not sure how to make my name appear!

I had a great time visiting the school. I loved being able to watch, learn, and participate in the Russian culture! I was not too sure what the expect but it did exceed all expectations. It is awesome to know that there is a school out there trying to help kids maintain their home languages and culture!

I wish I had more time to speak with the students. That is where I felt I had the best learning experience. They talked about what it was like to go to Russian school, English school, and some other topics that really gave the experience a personal touch. I hope I get to see their New Years dance performance they do in December!

I have read the document sent to us and have written down some helpful things to look for or ask about once I am there.

I love learning new words or hearing stories about their cultures!

Honestly, I’m still a little confused on who the school is for and what the goal is of the school. I’m looking forward to getting to know others and their reasons for attending the school!

I have done some independent research about their culture which will help me have foundation for the visit.  I have also read the information provided by Dr. Lopez Levia to help me prepare.

I would like to look closer at their language, customs, and traditions.

I do not have much knowledge of the Russian community.  I would like to learn about their culture and compare/contrast it with American culture.

I should look to see where it is and start looking into their culture some more to make sure I follow their rules and behaviors.

I would like to see how they teach any academic areas.

I do not know too much about this community as of now. I have worked with another teacher that is from Russia. I would like to learn anything from this community since I am unfamiliar with it as of now.
