Edmonton has a large bilingual program with many schools offering Ukrainian bilingual education. In response to student and teacher requests, Edmonton have created a set of materials for children in grades 3 and 4. These include children's games, with both videos and step-by-step instructions, given by the children themselves. There are digital models of both a village house and a city apartment, again with videos of a woman telling how she saw a house spirit or domovyk. We have baba showing us her garden and pictures of various veggies, all labeled. There are animals on the farm, complete with animal sounds. In other words, the resources for elementary teaching are many. Furthermore, Edmonton add new materials on a regular basis.
