Herrera Polar Bears

Children's Day and Dia de

Los Libros

I

n honor of Children's Day, Book Day/El día de los niños, El día de los libros, students at Herrera Elementary were encouraged to create their very own plays. Using nothing but recyclable materials, they started creating their marionettes, stages, and other props. The storytelling thematic unit took approximately two months and students had the opportunity to work on their plays during their lunch breaks...thus turning the library into a makerspace. The day finally came on Saturday, April 30th!
