Hispanic Heritage Month

From September 15 till October 15 we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. We have talked about the movements of independence in class: how the conquistadors conquered the New World and how the Spanish King ruled over the colonies. Mexico is the first country to declare its independence from Spain. The fifth graders are completing a scavenger hunt due on the first day of class after October 18th. Please, assist your child with this project if he/she needs help. For a description of the project, click here.
