WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 14-18

  HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH Each year, the United States honors the contributions that Latinos have made to our country with a Hispanic Heritage Month celebration that runs from September 15 to October 15. This annual month long celebration began 26 years ago. Congress first passed a resolution to celebrate Hispanic heritage at the national level as a weeklong event on September 17, 1968. Nearly 20 years later, on August 17, 1988, President Ronald Reagan stretched the celebrations to a month, from September 15 to October 15.  National Hispanic Heritage Month is observed in the United States, Canada, and Latin America. September 15 was chosen as the start date in order to coincide with the Independence Day celebrations of five Latin American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile observe their independence on September 16 and September 18, respectively. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IamM2P6MH1Q 8th GRADE- We wil

5 DE MAYO

Cinco de Mayo May 5 th is not Mexican Independence Day , despite what you may have heard. Mexico became independent from Spain at midnight on September 15, 1810 . It took 11 years until the first Spanish soldiers clued in and were forced to leave Mexico . The History Cinco de Mayo celebrates the victory of the Mexican army over the French at the battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. About 4,000 Mexicans faced the French army, which was better armed and three times larger - and the Mexicans won. A year later, the losers from Puebla managed to take over Mexico City and start a French government . The French victory was short lived. The government soon collapsed and Mexicans took back their city. Why is it Celebrated? The fact that the heavily outnumbered Mexican army fought for victory and won is what all the fuss is about. Mexicans are proud of this day and celebrate it every May 5th. Independence Day is a bigger holiday, but that's another story. How to C
