Learn a Language with Mango

Fourth graders used the World Almanac for Kids to look up some basic facts about their countries, such as land size and population (we learned that some of the smaller countries have more people than bigger ones ... Japan, for example, has three times as many people as Argentina, even though it's only about 1/7 the size). They also made a note of the languages spoken.

This is where we had a lot of fun. I logged into Mango, a FREE resource for all Rhode Island residents. All you need is a public library card and an email address to set up an account. Then you can choose from more than three dozen languages to learn!

Room 10 learned basic greetings in Portuguese, while Room 11 went for Italian. Try it yourself at home. Ciao!
