Vikki will talk about the interconnectedness of culture in all subject areas of the 3-6 classrooms. 

Bo will talk about supporting the child in their great quest for knowledge and how culture, in the widest sense of the word, includes not just cultural customs but also science and knowlege in the Montessori 6-12 groups.
