4-+Spain

= ﻿﻿Welcome To Spain! = THE FOURTH GRADE CLASS studied the country of SPAIN. Spain is one of the biggest countries in Europe. We had fun learning about the history of Spain. Did you know that the red and yellow colors on the flag stand for two old Spanish kingdoms? When the queen of Castile married the king of Aragon, Spain became one big country.

We learned how to say the days of the week in Spanish. We created special flower pots for each day of the week. We learned about some of the favorite sports in Spain. Bullfighting is huge in this country! Many tourists visit Spain each year. They might stay in a vacation house called a villa. So we created our own version of a villa. We used many of the colors found on the flag of Spain. We learned that the people in Spain like to eat fresh fruit. We created a market area and filled it with fresh fruit. Of course, one of the highlights of Spain is the fiesta. Many people wear special clothing for the event. Sometimes the fiestas end with fireworks.

We enjoyed our adventure through Spain. What a FABULOUS COUNTRY!
