| Our Ukrainian Colleagues |
We spent the morning exchanging information with the students. The topic was traditional holidays. They would present a Ukrainian holiday and then we would present an American holiday. It was great to see the similarities. They always centered around family and friends, and quite often food!! Many stayed after class to talk with us and ask more questions. They are very curious about our lives in the states and are anxious to get to know us and our students. I am really hoping that the letters that will be shared because of this experience will just be the start of a long term connection between our students!!
The school cafeteria is used by students as they are free. There is no set lunch time, they go when they have a break!! They have a few tables but most carry the food back to class or into the hallways to eat!
Questions for my students: What are the major religions in Ukraine and what are the percent of the population follows them? Souvenir to the one who answers in a comment first!!

ReplyDeleteI don't balme them! The students hang out during the 15 minute break and have food and talk with each other. It is very different in terms of schedule. Many students have different schedules so... very different!!
DeleteThis is Juneau by the way before i start. The main religion in Ukraine is Orthadox Christian, but people are also Catholic and Jewish.

DeleteHi Mrs. Hamilton! This is Tori B. in your seventh period. Orthadox Christian is the main religion, but people are also Catholic and Jewish. Approximately 80 percent of people in Ukraine are Orthadox Christian.
