ABSTRACT: The teacher's guide to the "Carrascolendas 500
Series," a bilingual (Spanish/English) television program
geared toward encouraging affective learning in 6- to
9-year olds, provides information about the main points
made in each of the 39 programs in the series. It gives
teachers general tips on how to use the series to explore
important issues with their students and suggests specific
activities geared to the content of each program. The five
constructs emphasized by Carrascolendas 500 are: (1) growth
toward self esteem; (2) concern for others as a source of
self-esteem; (3) respect for and preservation of natural
resources; (4) diversity in self and others; (5) existence
of inner choice. Within each theme, a number of concepts
are presented to help young children develop the attitudes
and values that can help them grow as individuals in a
bilingual, multicultural society. (SR)
