Ciao, Guten Tag, dzien dobre, do brey dien, pryvit!
We continued our journey through Europe this week!
In Italy, the students noticed that the country can easily be spotted on a map because it's shaped like a boot! We explored all the delicious Italian foods such as pasta, pizza, and seafood! We discovered that Italians celebrate Venetian Day, which is similar to Mardi Gras in the United States. Italians wear decorative masks in Venice on this day and the students had a chance to make their very own mask! We discovered how the story of Hansel and Gretel originated in Germany along with the Gingerbread House. The students constructed their very own Gingerbread houses using paper bags! The class saw videos of the Polka, which is a popular dance in Poland, we made our very own set of Matryoshka Russian Dolls, and read The Mitten, which is a popular Ukranian folktale!
We look forward to another busy week of traveling next week!
Have a great weekend!
