Skyping with our Third Country Soon!

We are soooo excited! We are going to be Skyping with a school in Latvia soon!

We started a new program that we have taken international (https://education.skype.com/projects/3618-learning-about-dalmatians-and-the-fire-safety-dogs-is-fun-

and each week we have set aside Thursdays to Skype with other countries!

For those of you that may not know (we are just learning too!) Latvia is a country in Europe and the capitol of it is Riga. It is an ancient Baltic country and is officially called the Republic of Latvia.

We can't wait to meet the children and this will be our first experience with a translator. Pawsome!
 
FACTOID:
 
 
Saint Peter's Church in Riga was built in 1209 and enlarged in the 15th century. Its current tower was completed in 1746 and restored in 1973 when an elevator was installed. People can now view Riga from a height of about 72 m (236 ft).
