This week we take a step back from all the annoying learning we’ve been doing – acquiring knowledge? deep thought? boo! – and just take a moment to sing. We’re going to bounce around the world in our songs this week, enjoying the very last note out of every one. We start in Germany and Switzerland with a lilting, laughing “landler,” which takes us into the Bavarian and Swiss Alps, then travel all the way to the westernmost coast of Canada, to British Columbia, where we make silly singing sounds with inspiration from the people of Nlaxa’pamuk First Nation. From there we go to Latin America where we search for the key to life (and/or our car keys), after that to a Roma wedding in the most exuberant parts of Eastern Europe, and finally to Northern Africa – Morocco to be exact – where “paint” our children using scarves of every color.
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
