Russian Mystery Day


Our Mystery February Fun Day got delayed because of snow two weeks ago, so we decided to have it this week instead.  The teachers donned scarves, aprons, and shawls.  We played Russian music and enjoyed a delicious lunch of borscht soup, beef stroganoff, wheat rolls, layered wafer cakes, and Russian candies.  Then we played vishibali, a Russian form of dodgeball.  This was a great immersion into the culture for the middle grades which have been studying Eastern Europe, and a lot of fun for the rest of us.
