 MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY
OF EDUCATION IN TAMAULIPAS

In Tamaulipas we understand the importance of educating our children for the future and
because of the circumstances we are living in this moment where COVID-19 has changed our
lifestyle and closed our schools temporarily, we are trying to find new ways to fulfill the right our
children have for an education based on principles of inclusion and equity by designing
different educational tools that support distance education.

During this period of staying at home, we are facing new challenges, but thanks to the
commitment every member of our education community has made, we have come up with a
group of different educational strategies that will help our students continue their learning
process from home taking into consideration the diversity of the student community, the
existing gap in social inequity and the different social contexts.

The designed strategies are part of a program called “Clases en tu Hogar” which provides
different options of activities for teachers in order to reach every student they have and
strengthen the distance learning process by enhancing the cooperation amongst teachers
and parents. These activities include: TV sessions, radio programs, online courses and also
printed material for those who do not have access to technological devices.

Dear Tamaulipas Students, in this moment where worry and instability have become a health
issue worldwide, we have designed these workbooks for you. They will help you to continue
with your learning process while you stay safe at home.

The activities inside these books are made to be solved at your own pace and time, try to find
a clean space at home where you have enough light and is free of distractions, this will allow
you to concentrate easier and be able to reach the expected learnings marked on the
program as well as your own goals in a more successful way.

Students, please be confident that your teachers have the best interest in your learning
process and are very committed to help you every time you have doubts or you need help.
Also, remember that you have a loving family that is there to support and help you at any time.

In Tamaulipas, we are strong and responsible citizens, and we will get through this
contingency in the best way. I am sure that when the time comes to reopen our schools, we all
will be back stronger, more creative and prepared than ever.

I recognize your dedication and effort to continue learning from home, as well as taking
special care of your health by following the instructions given by the Health Department.
Remember that is your commitment to continue learning at home through “Clases en tu
Hogar” what assures you a promising future.

I wish you the best.

 MENSAJE DEL SECRETARIO
DE EDUCACIÓN EN TAMAULIPAS

El Gobierno del Estado de Tamaulipas, preocupado por otorgar el derecho a la educación,

bajo los principios de calidad, pertenencia, inclusión y equidad educativas hasta los
contextos más vulnerables, en zonas de riesgo, marginación y en condiciones difíciles, ante
la contingencia sanitaria por COVID-19 que ha traído el cierre de los planteles escolares
como parte de la prevención para preservar la salud, ha preparado esta herramienta de
apoyo.

Con la enseñanza a distancia se hizo necesario enfrentar retos con la participación

comprometida de todos los miembros de la comunidad educativa, estableciendo estrategias
con acciones escolares para aprender desde sus hogares, que atiendan a la diversidad y que
acorten la brecha de desigualdad social.

Con la Estrategia Educativa Clases en tu Hogar, se pone a disposición de los docentes un

abanico de posibilidades para elegir la opción que fortalezca de la mejor manera el trabajo de
la educación a distancia, con prácticas de cooperación y ayuda mutua entre los docentes y
padres de familia, a través de herramientas como las Tecnologías de la Información y la
Comunicación (TIC's) y material impreso para regiones y hogares que no cuentan con
conectividad.

Estimadas alumnas y alumnos, en este momento de inestabilidad y preocupación a nivel

mundial por la preservación de la salud, se envía hasta su hogar este Cuadernillo de
Actividades para que, ante este periodo de aislamiento social, continúes aprendiendo y
fortaleciendo los aprendizajes esperados del grado escolar, desde la seguridad de tu casa.
Para resolver las actividades y ejercicios que fueron elaborados especialmente para ti, elige
un horario específico, busca un espacio limpio, donde tengas iluminación suficiente, libre de
ruidos excesivos y asegúrate de tener al alcance tus libros de texto, lee detenidamente y
comparte con tu familia tus logros.

Distinguidos estudiantes, siéntanse seguros de que el compromiso de sus maestras y

maestros está presente para disipar dudas y que el afecto de su familia los respalda en casa,
para que al regreso a nuestras escuelas, puedan contar con gran satisfacción que los
tamaulipecos somos fuertes, decididos y creativos y que salimos de esta contingencia con
éxito; reconozco su dedicación y esfuerzo para seguir aprendiendo desde casa, así como el
tener especial cuidado de su salud realizando todas las medidas sanitarias para seguir
cuidándote y cuidar a quienes te rodean.

Recuerda que tu dedicación para seguir aprendiendo con Clases en tu Hogar te asegura un
futuro prometedor. ¡Mucho éxito!

Mario Gómez Monroy

Ida´s Kindness
Ida was a kind-hearted girl, and one day when crossing a bridge, she
saw two boys on the stream trying to drown a little dog.
She ran to the shore crying loudly, “Oh! How can you be so cruel to
that poor little dog?”
The boys looked at her in wonder, and one of them said “Father told us
to drown it.”
The dog escaped, reached the bank and crept towards Ida. “Poor
little fellow”, she said, patting his head, “Will you give it to me?” “Yes”,
said the boys, “You may have him”.
Ida thanked the boys and ran home.
“Oh” Mamma,” she cried, “look at this dear little dog; two boys were
trying to drown him and I asked them to give him to me”. May I keep
him, Mamma?
