  1. Hispanic Heritage Month September

  2. What is Hispanic Heritage? • “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.”

  3. http://hispanicheritagemonth.gov/about/ • “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 September18, respectively. Also, Columbus Day or Día de la Raza, which is October 12, falls within this 30 day period.”

  8. Non Fiction • The Night the Moon Fell by Pat Mora • One night a gust from her grandfather's blowgun causes Luna, the moon, to tumble from the sky and fall into pieces in the dark ocean below.

  10. Just A Minute by Yuyi Morales “Grandma Beetle tricks Death by making him wait as she counts her way through her daily chores and by inviting him to join the birthday celebration (hers!) that that she is preparing. SeñorCalavera’s impatience is apparent in his body (bone?) language and in his expressive skull-face. His white skeleton contrasts sharply with the rich liveliness of Grandma Beetle, her grandchildren, and the contents of her house.”http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/article/CA621756.html

  11. Oh No, Gotta Go! By Susan Middleton Elya “Elya’s tale of a bilingual family’s Sunday afternoon drive, interrupted by the daughter’s realization that she has to GO, gallops along in jaunty couplets, rhyming Spanish with English, but always providing contextual settings for the Spanish words. “http://www.schoollibraryjournal.com/article/CA621756.html

  12. Juan Bobo Goes To Work by Marisa Montes“Juan Bobo … sets out to find work at the farm and the grocery.  Although the tasks are simple and the directions couldn't be clearer, he always finds a way to bungle things up.”http://www.marisamontes.com/juanbobogoestowork.htm
