Child Stimulation Month celebrated!

Every year the Ministry of Education sets aside March as Child Stimulation Month. A calendar of events has been prepared and issued to the various pre-schools on the island. The celebration started on Tuesday March 1st under the theme “Parents, educate your child”, with an opening parade along the main streets of the island.

The month is set aside and the activities are designed with the intention of raising awareness about the importance of early childhood education. Throughout the month, the students of the various Pre-Schools will be observing and hosting events such as Flag Day – where the children learn the importance and significance of the colors as wells as the symbols on the Belizean flag; children’s talent day, sports day, culture day and visits to the various public service offices to name a few.

ABC Pre-School had a special visit from Barney the Dinosaur on Friday, March 4th for Hug Day.

On Wednesday March 9th, grandparents and pre-school students got a chance to share in a bonding experience of creating art.

Brighter Tomorrow Pre-school had a wonderful time with the kids as they visited the San Pedro Public Library on Wednesday March 9th for story reading.

Visit this blog regularly, or read the weekly The San Pedro Sun as we keep you updated with the various activities scheduled to celebrate this very important month.

New Mayan Studies Section at the SP Town Library

The San Pedro Public Library is assembling a new Mayan Studies Section, with special emphasis on the Mayan Calendar. Prophecies from other cultures, and sources sorting fact from fiction in exploring the meaning of 2012 from the particular perspective of the classic Mayans are being gathered in anticipation of the upcoming date.

A few recently published books are much needed for this collection. Most are available from Amazon or bookstores. The Library will be hugely grateful if you are traveling with access to a bookstore and would like to make a valuable and permanent contribution to this timely project.

Meanwhile, come by the library and look over a number of recent articles available, conveying up-to-date information about this often confusing but most unique time in the evolution of the earth and in human history.

A partial all-paperback Wish List.
