Hispanic Heritage Month
The month celebrating Hispanic heritage began September 15th and there are some great resources on the web if you need ideas. I particularly like educationworld.com and teacher.scholastic.com/activities/hispanic. Both have numerous activities that are fun and interesting.
For students in high school, The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros would be great reading. For younger students, you might try Love to Mama: A Tribute to Mothers, edited by Pat Mora. She collects pieces from thirteen poets that explore the relationships that are most universal and that tie us all together. Can there ever be enough celebration of mothers?
