On Nov. 15, Amityville Memorial High School’s AP Spanish students visited bilingual classes at Northwest Elementary School.

The group crafted their own original books and they read stories in each of the bilingual classes. The reading activity helped students to practice articulating similarities and differences by comparing their stories to those of others.

Following the reading, Northwest students discussed what they’re thankful for and they participated in a Thanksgiving craft.
