Read the book The House on Mango Street and Shadow of a Bull, learn about Mexico's Day of the Dead, play mariachi music, practice Spanish vocabulary, discover the customs and traditions of Hispanic heritage, play Puerto-Rico's circle game, create your own musical instruments, learn about the Spanish-language influence on English, and much more.
