American Indian Week Student Day Story Time: Earth Day

@ Resilience Garden Tuesday 04.22, 2025
01:00 pm - 02:00 pm MDT

For American Indian Week, the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center will be hosting regional schools for Student Days, which will include our story time focusing on Earth Day. We will be reading Earth Day themed books, and children will have the opportunity to participate in a planting session using Indigenous gardening techniques in the IPCC’s Resilience Garden. Our book titles will be Can You Hear the Plants Speak? by Nicholas Hummingbird (Cahuilla/Apache), Julia Wasson, illustrated by Madelyn Goodnight, Spring’s Miracles: An Indigenous Celebration of Nature by Kaitlin Curtice, and Lessons from Mother Earth by Elaine McCleod (Na-Cho Nyak Dun First Nation). While this event is connected to our Student Days, it will also be open to families with children of all ages.

 

 

A SMALL SAMPLE OF THE SKILLS DEVELOPED WHEN CHILDREN ATTEND STORY TIME SESSIONS:

  • Increases vocabulary and overall brain development. Improves attention, concentration and listening skills.
  • Increases creativity and imaginative thinking.
  • Social and communication skills development and most importantly, it is fun, and children get to spend quality time with an adult who is important to them-YOU!
