Let's Take a Journey: Russia - Explore Russian Geography and Culture
From Miacademy Learning Channel · 2025
Summary
In this Miacademy 'Let's Take a Journey' episode, young learners travel to Russia to explore its geography and culture. Russia is the largest country in the world, stretching across two continents, with very cold, snowy winters and the capital city of Moscow. A short, friendly tour that helps grades 1-3 find a country on the map and compare its land, weather, and way of life with their own — an easy drop-in for a 2nd-grade geography or world-cultures lesson.
