Over the holiday break, I had the wonderful pleasure of travelling to Hamburg, Germany and Salzburg, Austria! With the "What Can You See?" project expanding worldwide, I thought this trip would also be a perfect opportunity to take pictures of my new surroundings and create a new digital book for this amazing project!
Take a look at some of the sights from Hamburg, Germany and Salzburg, Austria - I hope these pictures leave room for lots of discussion, new questions, and wonderings! Here's to new learning!

Dear Ms. Schmidt,
ReplyDeleteWe are a kindergarten class at Forest Run Public School in Vaughan, Ontario. We recently discovered the “What Can You See?” Project on Ms. Babalis’ website. When we read your onlne book “What Can You See? A trip to Hamburg, Germany and Salzburg, Austria” on the smart board we were excited to share our connections, compliments, and wonderings.
Connections
A.H.: That Ferris Wheel reminds me of Wonderland.
N.Z.: That looks like Mexico. I went there in December. It reminds me of how the houses look the same. Except creepier. The houses were all crumbly and small. There are creepy bugs in the houses in Mexico. There are scorpions there.
D.D.: I am going to Germany soon to visit my family!
L.S.: Her book reminds me of going to France.
D.T.: Those Mountains remind me of where Santa lives! Santa lives in those Mountains.
M.D.: I have a picture at my home of an animal.
N.Z.: I like the church. I’ve been to a church before.
Compliments
S.W.: I like the picture of the water and the bridge.
N.Z.: I like everything!
S.T.: I like the music.
N.H.: Like clouds.
Our Class: We like the beautiful photographs of your trip!
Questions and Comments
E.U.: I wonder why the road is rectangle stones?
N.Z.: I am going to make a “I see in Mexico” book from my trip in December.
A.H.: Can I make a book “What I see when on my cruise in December”?
Thank you for sharing your online book with us.
We liked it so much we read it twice in a row.
