This week at school we are celebrating Kazakhstan history. December 16 and 17 are Independence Days, so leading up to it we are treated to information about Kazakhstan and its presence in history and today. Several times a day, students come over the intercom system and give us information about Kazakhstan, in Kazakh, Russian, and, sometimes, English. One of the tidbits I remember is the fact that Kazakhstan is the 9th largest country in the world, and that English is an increasingly important language to learn.
To kick off the week, students created a presentation in the auditorium. There was dancing, poems, informative quotes, and even dombra playing! It was very entertaining.
I’m looking forward to seeing what Shymkent has in store as far as celebrations for Monday and Tuesday. I’ll be sure to keep you posted.
