Well it appears most of us made it through the numerous wildfires in the state of Washington, Oregon, and California . Here in Washington we just received our first non smoke days in a long time. It feels so good to breathe! My heart goes out to those less fortunate, I’m so sorry for your loss.
In the past I have given links for teachers to help with curriculum in terms of teaching poems. We are in trying times for teachers, parents, and students. Several recently asked about the links I have posted in the past. I will re-share now. Teach a Poem has numerous lessons you can use. I hope this is helpful to you.
Also September 15- October 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month. Many of the libraries are putting together activities, and giving ideas to teachers in how to apply this in “the classroom” . Here is an excerpt from North Central Washington Libraies:
NCW Libraries is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month!
“Every year from September 15 to October 15, we celebrate the varied contributions of Latinx and Hispanic individuals to the United States.
NCW Libraries will be highlighting Latinx authors, illustrators and creators through a series of blog posts, social media content, book recommendations, a take-home craft kit, and more.
Check out www.ncwlibraries.org throughout the month to find information and resources about Fiestas Patrias and other independence days, Latinx experiences, as well as information and suggestions for Latinx books and authors.
NCW Libraries is committed to celebrating and representing the diversity of our communities. Our celebrations of Hispanic Heritage Month is one part of our systematic effort to include and highlight diverse authors, voices, and experiences in our regular programs, services, and collections. “
Teachers and parents, can look into activities in your areas to find ways to incorporate this into lessons plans.
I hope all of you are getting by, staying positive and living life the best you can. Until next time, keep spreading the love.
