What do the students have to say? In Spanish we went to Spain
on the google earth technology. We saw some of the famous bildings
in Spain like the Plaza de torros (Bull fighting arena) and the
capital of Spain is Madrid. To get to Spain we went to the Kennedy
airport and flew over the Atlantic Ocean to Madrid! I wonder what
we will do next week? - Zoe
Slide 25
In Spanish we took it to the next level. On the computer we
used google earth to get to Spain. We went to Spain to look at the
famous structures. We got there by going from Hopewell to the
Kennedy airport. Then we flew to Spain! We saw the museum of art,
the bull fighting arena and a big park in Spain. All of the places
we went to are in the capital Madrid. When we were doing it it felt
like we were flying and falling. I hope we can go for real. -
