Mrs. Yollis' school has National Geographic's Giant Traveling Map of South America for the week. In past years, they've had Asia, North America, and Africa.
Mrs. Yollis contacted a friend of hers on Twitter who lives in South America. She asked her amiga (Spanish for female friend) to share a little about her native country of Argentina. This fabulous comment from Greta Sandler lead to lots of excitement and learning about Argentina.
Mrs. Yollis contacted another friend who lived in Argentina, Silvia Tolisano. Here is a wonderful comment from Mrs. Tolisano, also known as Langwitches. She commented about what she liked about her South American country!
These comments prompted more learning about South America!
