We’ve worked on our roof for our gers, and we are figuring out how to construct them and play with them, as they can move from place to place. We learned that real life gers can weigh up to 550 lbs., and are carted from place to place by the animals that the Mongolian nomads rely on—llamas, horses, and oxen. We have viewed photos of Mongolian cities, and the gers’ presence as the nomads set up their homes in shantytowns in cities. We have talked about what it must be like to carry all of our belongings everywhere we go, and how we would probably have much less that we do if we had to moved it every few months!
Storytelling continues in our makeshift ger that hangs from our classroom ceiling.
