Amistades (Spanish- 6) lunes, 13 de mayo, 2013 Tuvimos un buen tiempo en "El Bosque" de Concordia Language Villages durante el viaje la semana pasada. Todos se divirtieron muy bien y tuvieron la oportunidad de hablar espanol. We had a great time last week at the Concordia Language Villages for our overnight field trip. It was awesome! Once again, our Northfield kids impressed the staff by how much Spanish they knew and how well-behaved they were. Well done you guys! We will be moving into the final stretch of our year by working toward a final presentation on summer plans by next week.
