I noticed in your collection of books Tiki Tiki Tembo. I remember reading that book to my class when I was a teacher many years ago. I still can't remember Tiki's full name!
ReplyDeleteTikki Tikki Tembo No Sa Rembo Chari Bari Ruchi Pip Peri Pembo... has fallen into the well! During my first year as a teacher's assistant, the Lead teacher owned the Scholastic tape version of this book. It was my first time hearing the story and 20 years later I can still remember the name!
DeleteI forgot to mention that your pictures remind me of when our homeschool group in Santa Barbara, CA would take a yearly train trip to Los Angeles. There would always be a small group of us who would go to Chinatown.
ReplyDeleteRegina!! Yes, thank you! I also share free or low cost "field trip opportunities" with my group (places families can visit with their children to extend learning)... and The Dragon Parade in Chinatown was on the list! There is also the Lantern Festival hosted by the Chinese American Museum in March. I'll try to incorporate more of these in the future as we continue exploring Art and Culture. Thanks for the reminder!
