🏫🦋 Migrant Education Program Update 🏂📚 Anuncio Sobre el Programa Migrante Exciting things are afoot with a new collaboration between the Migrant Education Program and the Hermiston Public Library. Pre-school aged students have been visiting the library with the Migrant Education Program since the beginning of the school year. During the most recent library visit, Hermiston Librarian Wendy Holden read the story “First Time,” in English; Intermountain ESD Pre-K Specialist Marisol Valencia read the story in Spanish: keeping it short to maintain the attention of excited preschoolers. Valencia commented “Our Migrant Education pre-k students were engaged with the story and, most important, understood what was being read to them! This is our fourth trip to the Hermiston Public Library this school year, and [we] have seen developmental growth in social and emotional areas." Valencia further shares that this collaboration has helped students familiarize themselves with bathroom routines and circle time routines, as students are guided by picture schedules. She reports that the parent involvement has been a highlight of the partnership as well. 🏂 🌟 📚 🌟 🏫 🌟 🦋 🌟 🏂 🌟 📚 🌟 🏫 🌟 🦋 🌟 Cosas excitantes están por venir gracias a la colaboración entre el Programa de Educación para Migrantes y la Biblioteca Pública de Hermiston. Un grupo de estudiantes preescolares ha estado visitando a la biblioteca pública con el Programa de Educación para Migrantes desde el inicio del año escolar. Durante su visita más reciente, la bibliotecaria de Hermiston, Wendy Holden, leyó “First Time," en inglés; mientras Marisol Valencia, especialista en estudiantes preescolares del InterMountain ESD, leyó la historia en español: manteniéndola breve para entretener a los estudiantes. Valencia comentó: “Nuestros estudiantes preescolares del Programa estaban atentos a el cuento y, lo más importante, ¡comprendieron el cuento! Este es nuestro cuarto viaje a la Biblioteca Pública de Hermiston este año escolar y hemos visto un crecimiento en el desarrollo social y emocional." Valencia comparte que esta colaboración ha ayudado a los estudiantes a familiarizarse con las rutinas del baño y las rutinas de la hora del círculo, ya que los estudiantes se guían con su horario de imágenes. Valencia nos informa que la participación de los padres también ha sido un punto destacado de la asociación. #MigrantEducationProgram #HermistonPublicLibrary #ProgramadeEducacionMigrante #BibliotecaPublicaDeHermiston #IntermountainESD
