CABE (California Association for Bilingual Education)

Sacramento, Convention Center
Sacramento, CA

I will participate in three workshops on March 8. If you are there, come and say hi!

Los Bloguitos: Lee y toca las estrellas

Los Bloguitos es un blog para niños y niñas que hablan y leen español. Encontrarás cuentos, poesías, adivinanzas, dibujos y mucho más. Los Bloguitos ha sido visitado por más de 150 países alrededor del mundo y La Asociación de Bibliotecas de los Estados Unidos lo ha seleccionado como un "Sitio fantástico para niños". Los colaboradores y escritores Amy Costales y René Colato Laínez mostraran como usar el blog en casa y el salón de clase. Vengan y también descubran como sus hijos y estudiantes pueden participar como escritores e ilustradores en Los Bloguitos.


2:00 PM
Hyatt Regency Room: Regency F
A Cuenta Cuentos Fun Story Time

Bilingual Authors Amy Costales, Amada Irma Perez, Jorge Argueta and René Colato Laínez will read and share their authentic children's picture books. Come and enjoy stories in English and Spanish about mamás, papás, abuelitas, niños, traditions and food.

3:45 PM
Hyatt Regency Room: Regency F
Tradition Teaches Language/Language Teaches Tradition

Teachers, administrators, recreational specialists, para-educators and parents will be amazed to see how many ways the traditional Latin-American game "La Lotería" and its English counterpart "BINGLéS" can bring collaboration, learning and cultural understanding to schools and community gatherings. Attendees will participate by playing games, translating, writing and sharing memories.
