Our E.L.A. classes did a wonderful job studying Greece. We learned so much about the country of Greece through our "video vacations" with
Samantha Brown, the
Adventures in Ancient Greece book study, and our group research projects (displayed outside of Ms.Launey's and Mrs.Lopez's classrooms). We even met a Greek girl named Amarandi, who taught us many things about her country through
her website. We were super excited when she came and visited us on our blog! We will remember everything we experienced as we pack our bags and begin our journey through
Germany.
Our first German activity is a web field trip over to the
Germany for Kids site. There you will meet a cool cartoon character named Philipp. His site has lots of information about cities, the Berlin Wall, food, music, school, and lots of other fun stuff about Germany.
Your bonus assignment this week is to travel to the site and learn all you can about Germany. Then come back here and comment about what you learned. (Give at least 2 facts that you learned to earn a Behavior Buck.) Have a great trip!

What a fun assignment! I have a friend in Germany and everytime I call his house I have to do the math in my head to figure out what time it is there. And then I always think I have the wrong number when his answering machine picks up and speaks German - then I remember...oh, yeah....he speaks German too. It is Germany after all!
Dear Ms. Launey
It was fun learning about Germany. I learned a lot of cool facts. I wish I were in Germany during Christmas because you can open all the presents on Christmas Eve (24th) before eating dinner. Then everyone goes to church. They celebrate for two days, the 25th and the 26th.
Germans go to elementary school from the first grade to the fourth grade. When they get to the fifth grade, they go to a place called Gymnasium for 8 years to prepare for college.
Lots of famous people come from Germany such as Albert Einstein.
Thank you for giving us this assignment. I learned a lot about Germany.
Love,

I learned that the capital of Germany is Berlin. The Oktoberfest is one of the biggest parties in the world that happens every year. Germany also has castles that are hundreds of years old. It was also interesting to learn about the Berlin Wall. It was built to divide the east and west sides of Germany. Many families were separated for 28 years. The wall finally came down in 1989 and the people came together again. This was my favorite part!
-Sarah RP#4
