May 5 Cinco de Mayo (Mexico). Commemorates de victory of Mexican forces
over the French army at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. It is primarily
a regional holiday celebrated in the Mexican state capital city of Puebla,
and in other parts of Mexico. It is also celebrated in U.S. cities with a
significant Mexican population. It is not, as many people think, Mexico’s
Independece Day, which is actually September 16.
The short explanations will help to defeat some of the misconceptions. Students don't believe me when I say Cinco de Mayo isn't a big deal - but they might understand more if they see it elsewhere.
This list is designed to reflect the major holidays and celebrations of the
Spanish-speaking countries.
Students often ask what their name would be in Spanish - this is the resource so they can find out. It will be helpful the first week of school when students get to pick their Spanish name.
