Children’s Day Children are the future of our nation. Let's show respect for children.

Día Program Ideas

Book based-Story programs Reading makes immigrants of us all. It takes us away from home, but, most importantly, it finds homes for us everywhere. Against Borders BY HAZEL ROCHMAN Good books are never about only one theme. “ Multiculturalism is not found in books. Publishers should not have to make multicultural books, what we all have to make are multicultural readers. In other words, a reader open to possibilities, a reader open to see the world from different perspectives, open to recognize and understand the differences, sensible to the richness of his own culture and the culture of others, a reader who realizes who he is and accepts others.

We are a Rainbow Talk about difference and similarities around US children and children around the world, during, and after reading. Identify meanings of terms unique to the language and culture. Learn that no matter what language, we speak we all share many things in common and that makes us friends. Nancy María Grande Tabor

Plays and drama activities Example: Borreguita and the Coyote. By Verna Aardema Habia una vez una granja, a farm at the foot of a mountain, there once lived a little ewe lamb. Her master called her simply Borreguita , which means “little lamb.” One day, Borreguita’s master tied her to a stake in a field. The lamb was eating lush plants when a coyote came along. The coyote growled, “ Grr! Borreguita, I’m going to eat you up!” Borreguita bleated, “ Baa-a-a-a. baa-a-a-a ! Oh, Señor Coyote, I would not fill you up. I am as thin as a palo , a stick. When I have eaten all this clover, I shall be fat. You may eat me then .” “ Está bien . That is good,” he said. “When you are fat, I shall come back.”
