This country is as big as America and Canada and surely as important to the world. There are so many interesting things you can tell them. Maybe tell more about life inside and outside the orphanage, and what Russian families are like.

And Russian history and literature is so great. They have some of the childrens’ book writers who are really classic.

Russian food is really interesting. Kasha must be nutritious, but if you ate it all day every day it would get boring.

Maybe have a pre-test quiz to see what the kids already know and what they would like to know? Maybe the teachers could do that? And then you can structure their learning experiences accordingly – and have a feedback thing in print for the future.
