One of my favorite things to do is travel. We will "travel" virtually to different locations across the USA. Each week we will focus on a new place. Our classes will be interactive, informative, and fun. Some of the topics we will discuss are: - the history of the location - points of interest - popular foods in the region - sports teams - famous people from that area - interesting facts We will do some hands-on activities, play a game, and write a summary of what we learned. Those who take the class each week will be able to create their own "travel book".
