For months we have been getting complaints from our readers that they are no longer getting our updates in their Facebook feeds. And now, we think we have found a sure fire way to get our updates right under your noses. Follow the following three steps and you will be getting inundated with our updates!

STEP 1: Go to our Facebook page, make sure you like it and then hover your mouse over the word “Liked”. You will see a drop down. Make sure that “Show in News Feed” has a check-mark next to it as seen below. If it doesn’t, then select it to check-mark it.

Step 2: Hover over that Liked button again, and this time, click on Settings under the check-marked “Show in News Feed” text. And this is where it gets tricky. That box will go away and be replaced by the box in Step 3 below. Sometimes it happens instantaneously, sometimes, you have to wait.

Step 3: Got that new box? Great. It will look like what is shown in the image below. Click on “All Updates”. And voila! We don’t need to pay to get our posts in your news feed anymore!

Celebrating Mexican Independence Day

Lots of Americans seem to think that May 5 is Mexican Independence Day, but that holiday actually falls on Sept. 16.

May 5 is the celebration of the Battle of Puebla, in which the Mexicans defeated the French in 1862. Independence Day marks the beginning of their fight for independence from Spain in 1810. That was the day of what’s known as El Grito de Dolores, or the cry of Dolores, for when the Catholic priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla rang the church bells at his church in Dolores and declared that Mexico should be free from Spanish rule. 

They would fight for their freedom until 1821 when they finally gained independence. 

Fabulous Classroom has a little of the history and ideas for celebrating the holiday for all age groups. There’s also a link to a good video in that post about the real story of Mexican Independence Day. 

Twinkl also has a good tops about the history and different activities, discussion ideas, crafts and foods that can be incorporated into lessons at school or used at home. 

I also found a few pins that no longer link to a website but include good information on Mexican Independence Day, including some questions for students to answer based on the reading. You can find more printables and questions for kids from TX Homeschool Mama on Etsy (also available in Spanish). 

You can find a lot more paid resources about Mexican Independence Day at Teachers Pay Teachers. 

Mexican flag crafts are a fun option for celebrating Mexican Independence Day (though the current iteration of their flag has only been in use since 1968). Kids Activities Blog has a free Mexican flag printable and a few different ideas for decorating it including dot markers and torn tissue paper. 

You can also find some great Mexican crafts at Red Ted Art. The post includes all sorts of Mexican inspired projects including Day of the Dead crafts, Frida Kahlo pinatas and upcycled musical instruments. I love the giant paper flowers they shared from Honestly WTF.
