Packing for our trip...

Now that we have concluded our unit on rocks and minerals, the children and I have been preparing for our upcoming trip to Australia! We created our own passports and suitcases, and we also spent some time packing our suitcases- based on preliminary information we have learned so far about both this country and continent! The children "packed" hiking clothes for a trip to the outback, beach clothing and snorkel gear for our trip to the Great Barrier Reef, fancy clothes to wear to dinner and a show at the Sydney Opera House, and especially their cameras to photograph amazing sights such as Uluru and the Harbor Bridge! The children's "flight" leaves on Tuesday afternoon. We'll be sure to send a post card!
