"Meeting" Our New Friends from Madrid

This past week, our Lower Elementary students had a special online "meeting" with our new friends in Madrid!  Our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade students were able to introduce themselves and share the research from their Geography projects.  It was wonderful to hear about the similar Montessori pieces of work in both the U.S. and Spain!
