Heritage Hispanic Month

Students are learning some facts about the month of September, such as why the month of September is considered to be the Hispanic Heritage Month. September 16 is Mexican Independence Day.  The Mexican people celebrate this day with friends and family as they remember Father Hidalgo’s famous “Shout from Dolores” that led to Mexican independence.  The countries of Central America (Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica) also celebrate their independence on September 16.  

Students are learning the names of the countries that celebrate their independence day on September 16.  They are also having fun drawing and coloring in the flags of these countries and learning a little about their history.  How fun!
