It’s Latinx Heritage Month! Yo soy Boricua pa que lo sepas! It’s a time to be with friends and family and just really celebrate who you are as well as the diversity within our community. Plus, we get to eat some really yummy food and attend festivals. OLC is happy to share this time with you and we’ve created a unit study all about Latinx Heritage Month. Scroll down below for more about the unit study.

Chile
Colombia
Cuba
Dominican Republic
Haiti
Nicaragua
Paraguay
Peru
Puerto Rico
Estados Unidos (the United States)
and more!
Los ritmos de bomba que se practican (Corvé y Seis Corrido) en Loíza son más corporales que otros ritmos del género. Lo cotidiano en Loíza es bailar sin el uso de una falda (en el caso de las mujeres). Es un baile libre y de mucha cadencia y espiritualidad.

Here is a video of one of my favorite places on earth, my beloved Puerto Rico! The rhythm of the drums always calls me home.
In honor of Latinx Heritage Month, here is a unit study!
This is a unit study introducing Latinx heritage and the variety of people who share in this rich culture. It includes book lists, suggested materials, art projects, word puzzles, copy work, vocabulary, history, and more.
Included in this unit study, you will find:
Over 100 pages of content
A resource list that includes recommended websites, books, documentaries, and more.
Create a relaxing atmosphere (This could be as simple as a warm seat at the kitchen table with herbal tea or hot chocolate. Or it could be a corner in a room with a bean bag chair or other lounging furniture).
Have discussions about the reading
Allow children to act our or recreate scenes from what they have read
