Cinco de Mayo! Learn more about Hispanic Culture!

Feliz Cinco de Mayo! Vivo Mèxico! What a great day to take an opportunity to learn about Mexican heritage and culture!  I have compiled a few resources for you to explore on this dìa de celebraciòn!

Scholastic provides a nice learning experience, Celebrate Hispanic Heritage, where students can explore Hispanic history in the Americas, learn about famous Latinos, practice some Spanish vocabulary, and more.

Why not send some virtual greeting cards for Cinco de Mayo?  123Greetings has a special section of free and fun virtual greeting cards that students can send through email.

Finally, if your district has a subscription to BrainPop, check out the Latin Music video.  Learn about different types of music various artists, & origins.  Also BrainPop Jr. offers a free video (no log in required) about Mexico.  Annie and Moby discuss geography, history, culture, and the reason we celebrate cinco de mayo.

Note: If you are unsure if your district has BrainPop and you are in the St. Lawrence-Lewis BOCES district, email me and I can help you log in or find out about purchasing!
