1. A series from Ukraine: My First Book of Nature Series, published by Aspect Kyiv (1998); these books rival the best nature series in North America. They are colorful, well-made and informative. The se ries includes: Sobaky і tsutseniata (Dogs and Puppies), Kvity (Flowers), Dyvo na dolyni (about insects), and Moji uliublentsi (about small pets). 2. Again from Aspect Publishers in Kyiv, a series introduced by "Rozfarbovna", a combination work book/coloring book for teaching the alphabet, vocabulary and numbers. 3. From Machaon, Kyiv: Charivna Naklejka Koliory which includes bright colorful photographs with games and reusable stickers to help young chil dren learn colors, opposites and sizes. Nevertheless, it is the music teacher who re mains the most important faculty member in the ethnic school. Children retain the phonetics of a language through singing. Melodies and lyrics have an intrinsic value and remain imbedded forever in the memory bank of young children. There is no better way to teach vocabulary as well as patterns of speech. Nu merous resources are available from Canada and have been developed by elementary school teachers. Among these are the above mentioned Luba Bilash series of recorded songs, as well as many others re corded in Ukraine, such as Katchetchka Pratchetchka (The Little Duck Washing Her Clothes). The rage these days is the popular children's recordings, Boor- yak (the red beet), Kapoosta (cabbage), Kobasa (sau sage), Osyledtsee (smoked herring) and Barabola (the potato head). However for the last decade, music and songs by Luba Bilash have been the most popular among preschool and elementary teachers. In addition to the audio resources, Ukrainian bookstores offer numerous visual resources. These bookstores are located mainly in Canada and Austra lia. From Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the Yevshan Catalogue offers a large variety of teaching resources from books, workbooks and maps, to flash cards, stickers to new CD-Roms to teach the Ukrainian al phabet. From Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, there are complete programs developed by trained language teachers, made available through the Canadian Insti tute of Ukrainian Studies and its Ukrainian Bookstore. From Australia, Bayda Books offer a large variety of books printed in Ukraine, Australia and elsewhere in the Diaspora. Portfolios of materials developed by lo cal teachers, who are themselves mothers and fathers, are amazing because of their creativity. For instance, a collection of postcard illustrations of the artist Jaro slava Surmach Mills' work are tied together and used to teach the cycle of seasons as well as Ukrainian cul ture. A collection of stamps will serve to teach about Ukrainian history. Works by great artists such as Yaroslava, Hnizdovsky or Kozak and many others can be reproduced and transformed into teaching re sources. Theater has always been part of the Ukrainian tradition, especially during the Christmas season. Postcards of the Christmas nativity scene VERTEP by Slava Gerulak from New York are used to create local two level puppet shows for Christmas, and Christmas plays by Vasyl' Grendzha-Donskyj from Slovakia are studied for their dialogue and cultural significance. In Parma Heights, Branch 12 of the UNWLA has devel oped a more modem puppet show, and uses it to pre sent folk tales in Ukrainian. And for immediate use, children are encouraged to create their own "finger puppets." The Ukrainian Women's League of America, which publishes Our Life, also publicizes new au- dio-visual materials on the market for parents and teachers. Recently the staff of the magazine appealed to readers to contribute articles in which they share ac tivities that work with youngsters. A similar move ment is taking place at The Ukrainian Weekly. Here pages are also being set aside to give a voice to young 14 “НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЖОВТЕНЬ 2000 Видання C оюзу Українок A мерики - перевидано в електронному форматі в 2012 році .
