What does a SEEL literacy night look like?
The theme was “Let’s Pretend to Go Shopping!” Children visited 4 different stations: Hop to Shop, visit Barbara’s Best Bakery, Cava con Cajas (Dig with Boxes), and make pretend tacos at the Tienda de Tacos (Taco Shop). 🥖🛒📖

Recently our team attended the Utah Early Childhood Conference. The theme was "Rescuing Play," which aligns perfectly with SEEL's mission! We had an exhibit table and graduate student Melany Bosch presented in Spanish about using play to teach literacy skills.

SEEL founder Barbara Culatta travelled to Bolivia in July. Giving presentations in both English and Spanish, she shared SEEL lessons and principles with teachers of both English and Spanish. She also took part in a STEM project for teaching children about the ongoing effort to clean up Lake Titicaca.

SEEL has been focused on helping young children learn through hands-on play for almost 25 years.
