¡Celebremos el mes de la Herencia Hispana!

Let's celebrate the Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15th- October 15th).  It is the period when people recognize the contributions of Hispanic Americans to the United States and to celebrate Hispanic Cultural heritage and Hispanic culture. Here are a few suggestions on how you can celebrate with your family!


  • Listen to a radio station in Spanish.
  • Watch a movie in Spanish, it could be your favorite one just change the language.
  • Try a new Hispanic food.
  • Find a news article about a country where people speak Spanish and locate it on a map. 
  • Read an advertisement, label, or packaging in Spanish and figure out what it is about.
  • Share with your family the name of a Spanish-speaking country you would like to visit.  Locate it on a map and learn a fun-fact about the country.
  • Learn 5 new Spanish words and share them with me!

Also, here is a video of Mexico's Independence War celebration. Love the fireworks!
