Farewell for Now

Ending this quarter with a fun activity I would like to share the P.B.S show Maya and Miguel. The TV show has two main goals. To help children better understand and respect other cultures, traditions, languages and experiences. Secondly to help children build their vocabulary in English. The show as well as the web site is a great tool to bridge gaps in communication with families as well as students.

I find the TV show to be a great learning experience and now that I’ve seen the web site it will remain in my arsenal of tools. When exploring the site I found a vast resource of partnerships, especially helping Hispanic speaking kids. The site is available in English and Spanish, and is easy to use. The lesson plans are useful for parents as well as students and the interactive qualities of this site, have now become a place for me to play/learn. Please check it out, and I will see you around UWB.
