**What are Flagstaff teachers saying about CultureGrams: **
===="//Are your students studying a certain country and culture? Try this outstanding resource. I enjoyed the video on making a Spanish Tortilla and several videos and slide shows at a click of a button about festivals in Peru, Colombia, Costa Rica, etc. __These videos are truly authentic!__// ==== ====//Check out the description of people's lives. Click on the Interviews tab and read about people's everyday routine. What time do they actually get up in Cambodia? What does a school in Nepal look like? Sahara Desert, Machu Pichu, the Egyptian pyramids...all a click away! ////Studying the USA? Then go to that section to hear any state's bird song, recipes, climate, etc., etc. ////**AMAZING** possibilities....simply endless //." ====

====<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">"//Facts on File is an excellent resource!
