Hello to our new Friends from Assisi, Italy

Water for Sixth Grade is proud to welcome the students from Assisi, Italy. In our "Beyond the Classroom" project, our first connection takes us across the Atlantic to Assisi, Italy, about 2 hours away from Rome. We are very excited about this opportunity to connect with kids in a different country to learn about their school, culture, and life. The video above is the beginning of this connection. The students from Italy made a video saying hello to us. Now, it is our job to post a comment to them saying hello back to them. After you welcome them to Water for Sixth Grade, please tell them a little bit about yourself like what you like to do or anything else you like to share. In the near future, we will also make a video for them but for now, welcome them with a comment.
To the students of Assisi, Italy: We are very thankful that you are willing to participate. We look forward to getting to know you!
