Of course we stamped our passports and added the entry date of our visit. Our book is getting full!

And we learned how to say hello in Greek, and greeted one another with that all day long!

Since Greece is on the sea, we made this fun seashore 3D mini-book from our Scholastic Animal Habitats book.

We located the country on in our atlas using our mapping coordinates. Then we located the capital city and any other major landmarks.

We also learned a lot about the basic facts on Greece and labeled any landmarks and seas.

Of course what would the journey be without learning about some really cool animals found there! We talk about their habitats, and fun facts for each one then add them to our wall.

And as we try to do at the end of each week, we went out for Greek food, which for us that meant gyros! But sadly I wasn’t thinking ahead enough to take a photo LOL! But I assure you they were yummy!

 

And TBT 2010, we made some Kourabiethes (Greek butter cookies). They turned out well!
