Mr. Trevino do most people like hot peppers?

Mr. Dinmore who is Andy’s teacher invited me to his classroom for an interview about Mexico last Friday.

I had a lot of fun!

Andy’s second grade classmates asked a lot of good questions.

Today I received thank you notes from the students and some of them say:

“Aztec stadium must look huge! I did not know Mexico is sinking” – Madison
