SEMANA 8: DEL 18 AL 22 DE SEPTIEMBRE -WEEK 8: FROM SEPTEMBER 18 TO 22

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH MES DE LA HERENCIA HISPANA MES DE LA HISPANIDAD DEL 15 DE SEPTIEMBRE AL 15 DE OCTUBRE We will celebrate it with different activities during the classes and we will also make a cultural unit about the Hispanic Culture, learning about the culture: songs, tongue twister, people who have contributed to the progress of The U.S.A. Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. Who established this celebration? The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988, on the approval of Public Law 100-402. The day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September 18, respectively. Also, Columbus Day or Día de la Raza, which is October 12, falls within this 30 day period PROJECTO #2 AFICHE: MES DE LA HERENCIA  DUE ON MONDAY SEPTEMBER 18
