May is celebrated as Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, to honor all those Americans who have this distinguished heritage and recognize their diverse achievements. There is so much to learn so please use the links below, as well as others, to teach your children all about them.
The number of countries represented by AAPIs is large. The U. S. Census defines Asian Americans as those persons with origins in the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian Subcontinent, and Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander (NHOPI) as those within the U.S. jurisdictions of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia.
The websites listed below have many resources, including activities for teachers and children. Included are recommended readings as well. This is a special opportunity to grow your and your children’s knowledge and understanding of this group of Americans.
