The Welsh Alphabet

I’ve often heard people say “how can you read Welsh? There’s no vowels” or “Welsh looks like a keyboard smash”. Well, like many other European languages, Welsh uses it’s own alphabet that is seperate from the English alphabet (though don’t be mistaken, it still uses the latin script).

Lesson Plan: Discovering Halloween Traditions and Artistic Expressions

According to historian Nicholas Rogers, author of "Halloween: From Pagan Ritual to Party Night," Samhain was a period for evaluation and likely involved sacrificial rituals, potentially including offerings of animals, as pastoral communities readied themselves for the challenges of winter. However, historical records about the spec...
