Geography Week


The 3rd week of November is Geography Awareness Week, which was established in 1987 by President Ronald Reagan. The goal of this week is to promote geographic education in schools. So it's very fitting that we are studying Geography right now!

Where in the world would you most like to visit and/or live? Explain WHY you would like to visit or live in this place, how far away it is from where you live, and how you would get to this place.

I would live in Italy, it's very far away but I would go on a plane and be there in no time flat. A few resens I would live there is because, i'm a citizen there, I have a lot of family there, and it's very warm. I would probably live in Rome because it's the capitel. I also know how to speak some italian. That's why I want to live in Italy.

I would like to live in Vancouer Britsh Columbia because I think it's a bueatiful city. Since it's close to Washington I will by car. There is lots of stuff to do there such as going sking at Whisler/blackome, going to Stanly Park, and going on cruise ships that come on Saterday and Sunday and return on Saterday and Sunday. Vancouver Britsh Columbia has a better Science center than Seattle because there more stuff to do there and they put on shows for you to watch.In Vancouver Brish Columbia I have lots of fanily living there.You can also do five pin bowling in Vancouver Britsh Columbia.You can go in a water plane. You can stay in the plane for two to three hours which is the whole flight. There are many other things to do in Vancouver Britsh Columbia. That is why I would live in Vancouver Britsh Columbia.Vancouver Britsh Columbia rocks!

My dream vacation spot would be ether Rome, Greece, Italy,the Galapegos Island, or Belize. Rome is one of my choices because of the amazing architecture and history. Greece would be one of my choices because Greece also has tons of history. Greek myths are interesting and all the Greek gods and monsters in mythology are very fun to learn about. Italy would be one of my choices because of the amazing food and it's comfortably warm and sunny there. The Galapigos would be one of my choices because of its wide variety of plants and animals. The last choice of my dream vacation (But certainly not the least) would be Belize. The unique creatures that live there would be what would draw me there. My dream home would probably be in the Bahamas. Why? Because of the scenery and wild animals of course! Well, there you have it. I know I wasn't supposed to write about my dream vacation and my dream home, but I did it anyway!

I would like to live in Greece. The reasons why are...
#1, I am part Greek(and most of my family).
#2, I have never been there before.
And #3, I would like to see the monuments and learn about their history.

I would fly about 7,721 miles to get to Athens. That is why I would like to live in Greece.

I would like to go to Denver, Colorado to visit my Aunt Laura and my cousin William. It would be fun to see their new house and meet all their neighbors. Denver is about 1,000 miles away from Seattle. To get to Denver, I would probably fly on an airplane.

I would like to live in Iceland, because my Great Grandma Mix was from there. It is so pretty! It has trees, flowers, and glaciers all over the place. Northern lights, have you seen them? They are so cool! Iceland has volcanos, and waterfalls too! Iceland is north of us. I would take a plane there and build my own house. My house would have 4 levels, and I would have a pet hamster named Bill.

I would go to Las Vegas because my dad lives there they have a giant pyramid that has a magician in it . Las Vegas is an amazing place to go on vacation. I would get there by traveling on a big balloon. it would take me three days to do it, but I will finally travel there and fulfill my dreams add the famous drummer. I will live with my dad and follow in his footsteps. Las Vegas is very far from home and I will miss my family at my old home. but I will have my new family there. and I'm happy about that. Las Vegas is an amazing place to go.

The place I would like to visit is Italy because I am part Italian. I have never been to Italy and I think it would be cool to see my little cousin. I LOVE Italian food so, I would try many restaurants to see what I like best. It would be a big change because in some parts of Italy you travel by boat. I have seen pictures of Italy and it looks like such a beautiful place to be in. I would probably not want to live in Italy because I do not have much family there and I would miss them too much if I left.

Hello Andrew, Las Vegas is an amazing place. During your vacation we will have to go visit the pyramid which is called the Luxor. Then we can walk down Las Vegas boulevard and watch the fountains at the Bellagio. After that we'll run over to the Venitian to admire the huge Christmas tree, and end the evening watching the outdoor pirate show at treasure island. Aunt Laurie wants us to take a tour of the chocolate factory but I told her you're not a big fan of candy.....ahhhh I'm just kidding I didn't tell her that. I'm so excited and I can't wait to see you for Christmas. Have a great day in school and do your homework. Love Dad

If I were going to Florida (I've been to Florida once befor)I would be realy exited. Florida is a long way from here and takes a long time, even on a plane. One reason, I would like to go to Florida is they have Universal Studios. Also it is hot and muggy. Onother reason is that in Epcot there was an amazing ride. Finally, there is Universal Island Of Adventure. That is why I would be exited if I got to go to Florida. Again.
