Dream Vacations

 

 

 

Now that summer is here, it is time to think about summer vacation!  What would your dream vacation be?  How about some scuba diving Down Under, a magic theme  park adventure, a restful cruise on the Caribbean Sea?  If this does not suit you, perhaps hiking through a rainforest, or a trip to Europe?  These are five vacation destinations suggested by the KidsNationalGeographic.com website.  You can read the article and write down one thing that you would like to do at each destination. Then, when you have read about all five vacation spots, pick the place you would like to visit the most. Write a one-page story about a dream vacation at that location. You can set it up like this in your ILA journal:
