Week number two of middle school kicks off with a mini-unit on Geography. All this week, we will be learning about some basic geographical terms and knowledge that will help throughout the year. Before we can delve into the ancient world, we need some basic map skills. We will be looking at maps from time to time, so it's important we can read them. Also, we will encounter various physical features, so we need to be able to identify those as well. Being that our theme this week is geography, that will also be our theme for this blog post. This week, I want to know about the places you have been. Maybe you have gone on a sweet vacation to the Bahamas? Or traveled around in Europe? I have not been anywhere cool (besides Mt. Rushmore) so I want to hear about your travels. Tell me about all the places you've been to and what you did there. You do not have to share every place you've been to.
TASK: Blog about some of the places you have been to in this world. You can tell me about one place you've been or all of them. (It does not have to be a place in a different country.)
This is your final practice post. After this week, we will move into the Ancient World, in which the blogging will have points for you to gain.
Task: I have been to the Mall of Amrica and i have been to Africa and my dad is think of taking us to Fance.

We saw the falls and rapids and some of the rapids you could slide down like a waterslide but on rocks. In Grand Maris we took a walk out to the lighthouse while it was windy so the waves were really high and they were crashing around us sometimes we got wet.

It's Christmas eve so then we got up and went to church and had lunch. THen we went SWIMMING! My grandma and grandpa's condo place thingy has a pool so then ya, what ever. it was snowing in the moutains and when we whwre swimming a MIDNIGHT snow started to blow off the moutains so it was snowing and we where swimming, crazy. and then we had to go back home so I was SAD. :( And that is the coolist place I've ever been to.

ReplyDeleteI have been to a lot of places like the black hills, california, and yellowstone. In the black hills I went to see mount rushmore and also went to the reptile garden. When I went to california a was really little but I went swimming in the ocean. When I went to yellow stone I did a lot of things like going to see old faithful. That was really fun I also went white water rafting it was really bumpy and the instructor in the middle of the ride asked us if we wanted to play a game the game was that someone had to go to the front of the raft and every one had to spin the raft trying to make the person fall into the yellow stone river. And what was really scary is knowing that someone the night before we went rafting died in the lake. Not from rafting but frome falling in the river and getting there foot stuck. We were all scared so nobody asked to do the game but I did and the water was really cold but it was fun. And that is all the places I have been.
