Goodbye to Greece, Hello to Germany!

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!

Learn more about Greece!

This is 8-year old Amarandi Barrett. She created a website about her travels in Greece, just for kids. Her website is http://www.greece4kids.com/. You can read her website like a story, clicking the arrow at the bottom of each page to go to the next page. Travel over to her site and learn all about what it would be like to take a trip to Greece, then come back and comment on what you learned. We can't wait to see what you come back with. This will get you all ready to read "Adventures in Ancient Greece" when we do our Europe study on Wednesday. Happy travels!
