That wisdom is in the books is something we already knew but it is also well known that if such knowledge is reinforced by practices, the better.
That is precisely what has been done since the Library of Lo Pagan, to combine books and teaching experience in a unit for pupils aged 5 to 9 years of CP Our Lady of Mount Caramel.
Children learn what fishing gear and marine species can be found on the seabed due to related books, activities and the extensive experience of the larger pattern of the Fishermen's Association of San Pedro del Pinatar with Enrique (another fisherman).
Riddles, games and songs served to know the artisans work gradually tend to disappear, but that still prevail by skilled hands such as Miguel Angel the shoemaker who taught the young how to do this as ordinary and necessary complement.
He also visited the Library of Lo Pagán Aurelio a local organic farmer who explained the importance of insects to control pests without using chemical insecticides, poetry and stories reinforced the knowledge that this farmer and his "bugs" broadcast students that in this activity to promote reading also enjoyed puppet workshops, learned to illustrate comics, Kamishibai, Japanese art that means "paper theater" ... used educational games ("I learn to read, to form words, "alphabet puzzle" which relates objects and letters, or the classic "formapalabras") that, henceforth, are available for loan to individuals and schools, and this summer the kids can learn all about reading, graphomotor, reading, etc, playing, the best way to introduce little ones to the wonderful world of words and reading, whose promotion is a common task of every society and in San Pedro del Pinatar, it is much easier with initiatives like this, learning through play is fun and easy at the Library of Lo Pagan.
