Established in 1989, Hispanic American Heritage Month is an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the diverse Hispanic Cultures existing within our communities. This celebration is observed each year from September 15 to October 15, when many Latin American countries celebrate their independence.
The Fourth Grade has begun this month's celebrations by discussing the United States as a "melting pot" of cultures and nationalities. The kids kicked off our celebration by sharing some of the nationalities that have gone into making their families uniquely American. Of the nationalities I've heard so far are included: Polish, Spanish, German, African, Chinese, Russian and French.
The Third Grade will start their celebration after they've been quizzed on the rooms of the house. Their celebration will start with learning how to play the Spanish "castanets!"
