National Hispanic Heritage Month is by far a favorite time of  year in the USA. From September 15th - October 15th this country honors, celebrates, and recognizes the contribution and influence of Hispanic Americans to USA culture, history and more!

This year, I decided to share a video challenging my #PLN and followers to do the following:
  1. Learn something new about a Hispanic friend, a colleague, or a neighbor and share it.
  2. Double check your bookshelf and make sure Hispanic culture is represented in books & share away! 
After sharing my challenge, I had a few friends sending me messages accepting the challenge and sharing their findings.  It was wonderful to see friends embracing this wonderful celebration.

I also began sharing all my Hispanic Heritage Books (at least the ones I had at home). Every day from September 15th to October 15th I shared a 30 second video of a book that highlights and honors Hispanic culture. I shared picture books, middle grades books, young adult books. I shared my books on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. All of these videos were curated and uploaded it to my Youtube channel. 
If you have read any of these books, share with me how you're using them with your students. If you are adding any of these books to your booklist/bookshelf let me know. I'd love to connect and discuss how to use the book with your students.
