Resources from theSanta Ana PuebloCommunity Library

Hello Santa Ana Pueblo Families!

I just wanted to let you know about some free digital learning

resources available to all New Mexicans and offered through the New

Mexico State Library’s El Portal (elportalnm.org) in case you weren’t already

aware. Although El Portal offers A LOT, I thought the resources listed below may

be of interest to you and your students as you work and learn remotely from home.

Gale curates and vets all its information, providing a secure online platform

in which students and educators can utilize digital learning resources with

relative ease. Although their kindergarten-readiness program, Miss

Humblebee’s Academy, is not available through El Portal, they have

granted temporary open access if you’re interested. They’ve also got some

really helpful information on their COVID-19 Support Page especially in

regard to virtual teaching.
