10/24 Jungle Club Meeting

Our trek across South America begins at the southern most tip of Argentina in Tierra del Fuego (see the photo). What an amazing place to begin! We learned about the flag of Argentina, the Incan Sun God Inti, Magellan's travels through the Strait of Magellan, and how he named the Pacific Ocean, Tierra del Fuego, and Patagonia. The kids spent a lot of time taking the information we presented and creating wonderful morning announcements for the school that they will read each Wednesday on Walking Wednesdays.

For our snack (thank you, Miss Trish) we sampled Empanadas.
Our empanadas were purchased at our local Trader Joe's but if you have time (and a sense of adventure), try this quick and easy recipe. Your kids will love them!
