Hola todos,
Just a quick note to let you know that next week marks a very important date in Mexican and Central American history. On September 16 (celebration starts on the evening of the 15th), Mexico and Central America celebrate the bicentennial -- 200th anniversary-- of their independence from Spain. We will learn more about this and about Mexico in general in class in the coming weeks.
Want to help celebrate? The downtown Mexican Independence Day parade steps off from Balbo and Columbus Drive at 11:00 this coming Saturday (tomorrow!!), September 11, 2010.
There will also be parades in the Mexican neighborhoods of Pilsen (Saturday) and Little Village (Sunday.) Check out the local papers or internet for more details. Be sure to wear your verde, blanco y rojo.
¡Viva México! ¡Viva América Central!
Keep watching this space for more excitement -- about our learning, activities around town, and enrichment opportunities.
hasta pronto y gracias por todo,
Señora Deaton
