FALLing Into Hispanic Heritage Month!

This week, we celebrate the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month and welcome the fall season on Sunday. Hispanic Heritage Month is about honoring the traditions, cultures, and stories of Hispanic and Latino people in our communities and worldwide. On the 22nd, we trade swimsuits for cozy sweaters as the leaves change color to welcome Autumn!

FOR EDUCATORS: LESSONS ABOUT HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH AND FALL FAVORITES
Teaching students about Hispanic Heritage Month is important for fostering cultural appreciation and awareness. Students can learn about food, history, and different cultural activities to increase their understanding of cultures that may not be their own. When learning about the change in seasons, students can learn about nature, science, and celebrations associated with the season change.
