Introduction:
   Through the cooperative efforts of  energetic Spanish & Japanese speaking teachers, 2nd grade Hayt bilingual students spend various days meeting and discovering curriculum at Hayt with their foreign language speaking New Trier High School buddies.

  Before their visit via phone conversation, school visits and email, the high school teachers discuss goals and curriculum for the special get-together with  Hayt's second grade bilingual classroom (Hayt is a Chicago Public School in the heart of the Edgewater community).

  During their day-long visit, the groups make a visit to the Tech Lab to work on some technology activties.
