On Thursday, after spending the day at White Memorial Land Trust in Litchfield, Ct. with the 7th grade, my 8th graders and I spend 40 minutes skyping with students from a school just outside San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.   

We spoke only in Spanish, as did they (although two of them tried out a little English with us).  It was great fun and we've already discussed ways we can improve the process next time.  We will be video conferencing with other kids in San Miguel 5 more times between now and June.  Very exciting!
