I know I'm not supposed to play favorites, but the Czech Republic is a very special country to me. It's where my dad was born! I'm excited to share a little about the country and people with this class.

| Beautiful Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic and the city where my dad was born. |

| Everyone enjoyed meeting Hurvinek, the Czech marionette |
The Czech Republic is not a big place-- it is about half the size of North Carolina! But, this little country has lots to do and see. Did you know that there are over 2,000 castles in the Czech Republic? The Prague Castle is the largest castle in the entire world!
Spring is a very special time in the Czech Republic. The cold winter is over and people are ready to celebrate! There is a lot of excitement leading up to Easter. In our class, we talked about celebrations and decorated (and ate!) perníčky, traditional gingerbread cookies served at Easter time. Take a look!
 |
| Everyone waited to eat their cookie until I took their picture. That's willpower! |
Then, we decorated wooden eggs based on Czech designs and our own creative ideas. Hope everyone had fun! Happy Easter! - Veselé Velikonoce!
See you next week when we travel to the east African country of Uganda.
