I hope this is where we can post our responses to the artwork we received from all of you. Please let me know if you received these.

Here are comments from my students about what we learned about your culture:

Our students learned that our cultures seem very similar. We all like to draw, have friends, sing songs, and help others.
We also have lots of pets which many of you mentioned. We wish we learned more about your culture.

This answers question 2 also since it asks what we discovered that is similar. We seem to share many of the same ideas and daily things.

We were surprised that many people seem to speak English. We do not learn a 2nd language as much as you do. We have to take a language in school. Here it is Spanish for we are a small school and it is the only 2nd language offered.
We looked into your country a little more and it seems like a beautiful place. We hope to learn more about it.

We love how you all seem to like to help one another and other people. Your artwork is beautiful and shows many of your different interests. We thank you for sharing it with us.

We will try and post some pictures of how your artwork has been displayed. Our entire school has enjoyed it and many have made really nice comments on all of the work. Thank you again for sharing it with us.
