=Welcome to Between Cultures: Colorado and Nicaragua=

Mary Beth MacLeay is the technology/library teacher at Sable Elementary School in Aurora Colorado. I will be managing this wiki. We hope it is a space for fifth graders in a small group to share with students in La Danta, Nicaragua and learn more about each other.

Amanda Jones is one of the founders of Between Cultures. See [] Amanda lives in Managua but travels to the village of La Danta.

Hi my name is Bryan. I live in the city we have cars, buildings, and computers. Do you guys have electricity? What type of surrounding do you have? We also have mountains in the mountains there are animals like bears, rams, deer, and elk. What types of animals do you have in your area? Have you ever heard of those animals? Well that’s some of the things we have here in Colorado.
