Week 32: Discovering the EU

In S,S., Both classes had an opportunity to simulate travel and trade before and after the EU formed.

Before the European Union formed, customs agents did passport checks

Figuring out the currency exchange

How many zloty for a franc? French or Belgian?

I'll buy a bumper sticker please

It's rather difficult to get from one country to another with all these border stops

Guten tag!

When the EU formed, travel became much easier - no passport checks!

That will be one euro, please.

Unless you are from Poland or the UK.  They didn't adopt the euro.

Travel and trad are much easier.

Still learning those greetings, Hola!.... Bonjour!

SAVE THE DATE - 

Friday May 20 will be our Lutheran Heritage Field trip.  This is an extended day, arriving at 6:40 a.m. and returning at 5:30 p.m. that evening.  Please mark your calendars accordingly.  We will be studying immigration, geneology, and the history of Lutherans in our area.  Our day will include a trip to the Altenburg Museum and Saxon Lutheran Memorial in Frohna, MO.  This is a colonial homestead where students will learn about the first Lutheran settlers and have an opportunity for trying chores such as gardening, laundry, and grinding corn.  Thanks to a generous sponsorship from the PTL, we are able to take a charter bus for the trip.  More information will come home at the beginning of May.
