Travel Reflections!
We had a busy week of international travel this week! We traveled to Guatemala and Greece in two days. I am tired just thinking about it! Now that our suitcases are unpacked, I am savoring the memories. Please share your new learning, favorite activities and thoughts on each country!

I learned in Greece that all men had to go the military for 9 mouths. In Guatemala I learned that they had to learn 700 letters. My favorite activity in Greece was the Olympics one were you had to through the this thing in through the Olympic rings and if you through one through the black ring you would get five points. My favorite activity in Guatemala was the on were you learn about how they celebrate stuff and at that station you got to crack a confetti egg in your hands.
ReplyDeleteHi, today I learned that 1/4 of the olive trees that are in Greece are in Crete. Guatemala produces a lot of gum. The first Olympics were in Athens in 1846. Persephaine was trapped in the underworld and had to eat 6 pomogranite seeds and was forced to be Zeus's wife. Kids in Guatemala play outside most of the day. Bye 3-P ROCKS!
ReplyDeleteHi! Today in Greece I learned that The first Olympics were held in Athens, because the first Olympics were held in Greece sometime B.C. Athena was born out of Zeus's head. She was also born an adult. There was no choice, all Greek men after graduating from high school or college HAD to go to the military. When a man named Marathon ran 26.2 miles to tell the people about them defeating someone's army, he yelled nike and then passed out. The Guatemalan market, Chichicastenango, I think that is how you spell it, has anything you can think of! To play, Guatemalans got tree sap, rolled it up into a ball, and blew it up. The sap expanded, and became bouncy! I really want to try that someday! They fly huge kites, but I forgot what they are called. And that's it! Bye! 3-P ROCKS! :)

Also a runner named Marathon got to the finish line of a race and screamed out the word Nike and then passed out. We learned a lot about the gods. We learned about Persephone one of the gods, she got trapped in the underworld and got tricked into eating six pomegranate seeds.

I also learned that both countries, Guatemala and Greece, have something to help their worries go away. In Guatemala, I never knew that there are cousins to a lemur. In Guatemala, I learned that kites can be really big.
