September 15th is the start of National Hispanic Heritage Month, a time to celebrate the history, culture, and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.
There are many things you can do to discover the Hispanic heritage and celebrate it with your friends and family. For example, brush up on your history and read a book such as Chronology of Hispanic-American History: From Pre-Columbian Times to the Present. If you want to end the summer with a party, plan for a fiesta with Hispanic games, food, and traditions such as making Arroz con Leche and having piñatas.
There are many books and recipes for the whole family that can contribute to your learning and celebrations of important people and events in our history. What will you be doing to celebrate? Let us know!
