Roberto Clemente Lesson Plans, Activities, Coloring Sheets and More

You may have heard about the baseball legend, Roberto Clemente. But did you know that the Puerto Rican was also a great humanitarian? In fact, he was posthumously awarded a Congressional Gold Medal of Honor in 1973 for his philanthropic work. Roberto Clemente was the first Hispanic to achieve greatness in baseball, such as the first Hispanic to be named league MVP and the first Hispanic elected to the Hall of Fame, among other firsts. I hope you enjoy this collection of resources for learning and teaching about Roberto Clemente. Surprisingly, there are less than I expected. I hope that changes in the future.

Then learn about other important Latinos in history that your children should know!

New Bilingual Minibook On the History of Cascarones



Easter is less than two weeks away, so I just wanted to remind you about my bilingual minibook on cascarones. The little booklet includes black-and-white images for your children/students to color in, as well as a brief description of the history of cascarones. Your kids will learn where cascarones originated, what they originally carried, and who introduced them to Mexico. There are even instructions on how to make your own cascarones included. The bilingual pages include full text in both English and Spanish.

You can find it here in my TpT store. 

(If you'd like to just read a brief history of cascarones, check out this post, which has the full story.)

This post contains affiliate links.




You can also check out my Decorate Your Own Cascarón Bilingual Activities, which has three roll-the-dice and decorate your cascarón using the options provided. 



But if you are looking for a no-prep printable that is better suited for older children, my One-Page History of Cascarones may be for you. This reading passage talks about where they originated to how to make them. This informational text is written for students in 4th - 8th grade, and includes a 7-question comprehension quiz plus answer key.

If you are looking for supplies to actually create your own cascarones at home, here is a list of the items that we typically use.

Día de los Muertos Minibook {PRINTABLE}



'Buelita left this morning, so we're all a little sad over here. :(

BUT I'm grateful for the help with the kids that allowed me to get a lot done. Including this Day of the Dead Minibook - it might be my favorite printable yet! Short and sweet, this minibook includes six pages perfect for children in Pre-K through 4th grade. An introduction to the Día de los Muertos holiday, each page focuses on one element that is closely associated with the holiday. Children can color in each page then read about each one in English or Spanish. Just print, read, and color.

Remember, you'll have until midnight Friday to download your free copy. After that it goes into the MommyMaestra TpT store.


Enjoy!

A FOOD Coloring Book from MamaYala {PRINTABLE}

Last week I shared the MamaYala project with you. I'm pretty excited about it as I think the creator, Sara Ponce, has a fantastic idea and her products would be great teaching materials.

We have five (5!) days left to help Sara make MamaYala a reality. And to show her appreciation to those of you who have already pre-ordered cards and such, she has kindly offered 10 food-themed pages from her coloring book as a free download to MommyMaestra readers. These include the mango, ulupica, yuca, empanada, aguacate, quenepa, níspero, jalapeño, hallaca, and flan! To be honest, I had never even heard of some of these, so I'm looking forward to learning about them with my children.

To make it easy on you, I've put these all together so you can just download the lot one time and have it in one file for easy access. I think they would make a great supplement for lesson plans revolving around food from Latin America.


Thanks again to Sara for sharing these, and if you like what you see, won't you please consider helping her out? Pledging even one dollar helps her get one step closer to her goal. And she has some excellent gifts lined up according to how much you pre-order. Don't forget that you will not be charged unless she meets her goal!

Let's show publishers how badly bilingual and bicultural education materials are wanted and needed.

Con much cariño...

MamaYala World Cultures Project


 
A week or two ago, I was contacted by Sara Ponce who shared her beautiful project with me. Sara is trying to find funding for her education materials, the first series being focused on Latin America and Spain. I simply love not only the idea, but her illustrations, too. Since I have not seen the cards myself (yet!), I asked Sara to share a bit about her project.

And she shared her video, which tells her story best...




Sara also says-

MamaYala™ World Cultures presents the cultures of the world project. Our beautiful and colorful card sets include illustrations of artifacts, foods, flora, fauna, and instruments. The first card series is based on the Latin American and Spanish cultures.

MamaYala™ World Cultures le presenta las culturas del mundo. Nuestra bella y colorida colección de tarjetas contiene ilustraciones originales de artefactos, comidas, flora, fauna e instrumentos musicales. La primera serie está basada en la cultura española y latino americana.

I'm excited to support Sara in her venture. I love the whole idea and the creativity she possesses. Just take a look at these beautifully illustrated cards!


I hope that you will join me in helping Sara make her dream a reality (and pick up some beautiful cards at the same time!) visit her kickstarter campaign page, www.mamayala.com

You can also find her on Facebook (www.facebook.com/mamayalaworldcultures) where she shares updates about her project.

Un abrazo!

Presidents' Day Activities, Coloring Pages, Books and More


Happy Presidents' Day!! The more that I learn about our U.S. presidents, the more I appreciate this day. Although Presidents' Day typically focuses on George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, we have had a number of fascinating men running the United States: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Garfield, Theodore Roosevelt, Kennedy, the list goes on and on. I am grateful to them, and their willingness to take on the incredibly difficult job of running this country. Have you noticed that every single president has left office with a head full of gray hair? I don't think that a single person entering into this position has a clue about what they are getting into and how hard it will be to try and hold the country together.

With this being an election year, I think now is an especially good time to discuss the office of the presidency, how a president is elected, and what they must do once they are in office. 

Tonight, as I type this, my husband and children are sitting in the next room watching Abraham and Mary Lincoln, A House Divided: American Experience on PBS and learning about Lincoln's life. Though it is way past their bedtime, we're letting them enjoy the moment, knowing that tomorrow we will be remembering him and other US presidents. 

Anyway, in honor of all the men who have so bravely led this country, here are some excellent resources for learning more about them and the office that they've held.

LESSON PLANS

• Scholastic has a good lesson plan titled, If I Were President, that covers a wide range of activities.

• Teaching Resource Cneter has a some great activities and lesson plans on George Washington. They also have an article dedicated to a Code to Teach the Oath of Office.

• lovetoknow home school also has some good lesson plans.

• I really love this math/social studies activity where students graph/map which state has produced the most presidents.

• I think older children will really enjoy these lesson plans from Lesson Planet.

• Mr Donn's American History page on American Presidents has lots of great lesson plans, games and activities, too.

• Mr G's World of Social Studies has a page dedicated to the presidents of the US with some fun trivia, and other data.

• ClassroomHelp also has information on topics like who died in office, who had a nickname, presidential salaries, and vice presidents who became presidents. 

• Here is a printable story in Spanish on Presidents' Day from edhelper.com.


ACTIVITY SHEETS & COLORING PAGES

• Enchanted Learning has some great printables for Presidents' Day. These include worksheets and short books for beginning readers.

• FreeKidsColoring.com has a nice sized coloring page of the President's Seal and several for both Lincoln and Washington.

• Crayola.com has a great coloring page for George Washington and others for Presidents' Day.


CRAFTS

• First, I have added so many cute Presidents' Day crafts to the MommyMaestra Pinterest board, Presidents' Day, so be sure to check that out.

• Kaboose has some super cute crafts, such as this Craft Stick White House and this Powdered Wig.


VIDEOS & PHOTOS

• National Geographic Kids has a great collection of U.S. Monument photos including Mount Rushmore, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, and more.
