While visiting El Salvador this summer, I had the opportunity to implement some "Growing with Books" curriculum in the small town of Santa Marta, Cabañas. Here we are doing ball play - and the kids got to take home the beach balls. The next morning, when before our second and final class during the visit, one of the little ones said: "I still have the ball and I didn't even pop it¡" My last blog about the Bebé Payaso (see "Flashback!") project reminded me of this encounter as well. Whether it is a new board book, a homemade book project, or a donated beach ball, each item our students take home is a tangible reminder to be practicing at home what our families have learned in class.
