Image result for GrenadaAfter a long time posting about the Summer Learning Journey, it's about the end. I just want to continue on the first series - island countries (I forgot to tell you 😕). Could you remember what was the last island country that I had posted about? It was the Solomon Islands located in Oceania. Now, this island country is located near Venezuela, South America and Trinidad and Tobago. It's the second to last island country in the Caribbean islands. Here are some facts about Grenada.
