On Friday, we had several international students from Japan come to visit our Coyotes! They visited a few classrooms and got to learn about schools in America and we got to hear how they are different from schools in Japan. Thank you to Ms. Shea for setting this up and bringing some new friends to Cottonwood! ¡El viernes, varios estudiantes internacionales de Japón vinieron a visitar a nuestros Coyotes!
