March – Daily Fun With Your Little One

It is your friendly neighborhood librarian, Alvina Romero! The Library Literacy Specialist from the Dr. Fernando Escalante Tribal Library! This month’s daily fun calendar includes activities such as using dry spaghetti noodles to create different shapes, enhancing your child’s imagination. Celebrate International Women’s Day on March 9th! Celebrate Yaqui females past and present, those who have helped preserved and flourish the Yaqui culture and history. For more fun ideas, peek at our activity sheet, such as singing with your child in the tone of “Are you Sleeping, Brother John?” sing the English and Yaqui language color song. Feel free to share with families and friends! If you would like support or guidance, contact us at (520)879-5473 or email us at librarypatrons@pascuayaqui-nsn.gov.
