Students spoke Spanish with each other as they worked on a group project during Madison Heights Elementary School’s new Spanish Immersion Summer Camp for students in first through fourth grade.

Groups of two to three students worked together drawing with markers on paper designs for a tall structures that could support a golf ball about ¼ the way from the top, then they worked together asking questions and answering them in Spanish as they built the tower from pipe cleaners, straws and paper clips.

“I think it’s important for the students to be in here in summer camp, because they’re practicing their Spanish, they’re interacting with each other, they’re having fun, and they’re enjoying the camp,” said Karina Rivas Aguilar, a teacher at the Spanish Immersion Summer Camp.
