Have a GREAT summer, Paraguayos y Paraguayas!

Hola amigos y amigas!

We hope you have a wonderful summer break down there in South America! Please add comments about your summer holiday on our Blog over your break! When you return from vacation we can continue our letters.

Right now in Montana, it is starting to snow! We are wearing our BIG jackets and warm hats and mittens. We have all chopped our winter wood and our homes have a big, warm fire every night. Soon, we will start to ski and snowboard in the mountains!

Is anyone planning to go to Brazil or Argentina this summer? We hope you have a great trip.

Chau Chau for now,

Amigos Americanos,

Your American friends from Montana!!!

We had some visitors come to class from New Zealand and Australia

We hung out with the other 5th grade class that day...

The class acted out the book they´re reading: Round the World in 80 Days

They got creative with the costumes...

Colegio Sol loved the letters!

The 8th Grade West Valley crew

Hi everyone! It´s been almost a week since our class received your penpal letters...they loved them! They were especially surprised when they found out that you do things like go hiking, hunting and farming! They loved hearing about how different it is there.

We´ve been doing some fun stuff in class lately. For example, yesterday we practiced yoga! It was fun....I should´ve taken some photos!

Anyway, I´m posting Mrs. Youngblood´s class photos up here to share with my class at Colegio del Sol. Good to hear from you West Valley!
