Things that originated in Europe

We have learned that baseball and jeans originated in Europe. Was this surprising to you? What other things have influenced America? Why do you think so?

  2. I am surprised that stuff came to Europe. The other things that came to America were sports, stories, and schools.

  4. I'm surprised beacuse I didn't know there was another name for baseball. I think that Europe is amazing.
    The Grimm brothers went around the world and wrote down the fairy tales.

  5. Besides jeans and baseball I think another thing that originated in Europe and came to American was apple pie. All these things do surprise me because I thought all those things originated ion America. I think that it is very cool to have a sport that started in a continent that is very small and crowded. Another thing that came from Europe is fairy tales. I think these things came to America because they don't want these things to be forgotten.

  6. One thing that I know came from Europe is fairy tales and fables. Two men named the Grimm brothers went around Germany and gathered the stories.

  8. I wasn't surprised that jeans and baseball came to America. Other things like apple pie and folktales came from Europe. Fables and folktales because the Grimm brothers wrote them down.
