🇲🇽 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 - October 15) celebrates the contributions and culture of Hispanic Americans. Use these cutting strips as an entry point for broader cultural learning—pair with books about Hispanic artists, musicians, or historical figures. After cutting practice, children can create their own paper piñata craft or explore traditional Mexican foods. Keep cultural education respectful and authentic: focus on real traditions, not stereotypes. Simple explanations work best: "Many families celebrate with colorful decorations and special foods during festivals."
