Social-Emotional Learning Using Makerspaces and Passion Projects is
chock-full of meaningful projects that educators can use to teach
social-emotional skills in grades 3-6. The projects show students
how to create a digital calming room, prototype an inclusive
playground, and make recycled cards with paper circuits to spread
kindness. They also teach young makers how to focus on
self-regulation and self-care, engage in community outreach by
helping struggling families, and tell their own stories using
podcasting and green screening. In addition, the book provides
teachers with helpful strategies for scaffolding passion projects,
funding a makerspace, and tips for building community and
celebrating diversity. With the engaging ideas in this book,
educators will be able to help their students build direct
connections to social awareness, relationship skills, responsible
decision-making, self-management, and self-awareness (CASEL's SEL
Framework).

Ana Baca's bilingual tale of how two children from different
generations learn to make their family recipe for tamales will
delight readers of her earlier picture books that combine folklore
and traditional cuisine.
Luz's school day is canceled because of snow and her abuela
decides it's the perfect time to teach her to make tamales, just as
Abuela's father, Diego, was taught by his t a on a long-ago winter
day.
As Abuela tells it, when T a showed up unexpectedly at Diego's
home, the pantry was almost bare with only a few dried squash, two
pumpkins, three onions, a bundle of dried corn, and one red chile
ristra on the shelves. Diego didn't think they'd be able to do much
with such meager ingredients, but by the end of the afternoon, T a
had taught him that with laughter and a little embellishment, a
delicious meal can be made from almost nothing.
