Costa+Rica

=Welcome to Costa Rica! =  Hi 5th graders! Welcome to our class Wiki! I am very excited about our upcoming unit, and I think you will all find that Costa Rica has much to offer. We will be using this Wiki as well as our textbooks and various other resources to learn about the culture, people and land of the country. On these next few pages, you will find plenty of interesting information, and I hope you all take the time to look at the pictures and external websites. Please join me on our journey to the country of Costa Rica!
