Abstract	These publications were written for teachers to use with migrant children in elementary grades to highlight individual differences between the countries that make up the Americas by providing historical, geographical, and cultural information about them on a quarterly basis. The three issues presented here focus on nations of Central America with attention also to aspects of Black history. The table of contents in each issue indicates language--Spanish and/or English--in which articles are written. Each issue focuses on two or three Central American nations providing historic, geographic, economic, and cultural overviews for each. The Guatemala and Belize issue features interviews with two Guatemalan students and biographies of Pedro de Alvarado and General Justo Rufino Barrios. The El Salvador and Honduras issues include banana and plantain recipes, native songs, and the accomplishments of some Black pioneers in medicine. Features in the Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama issue include Nicaraguan recipes, the poetry of Ruben Dario, the Somoza family history, retrospectives by two educators from Panama, and Arthur Schomburg's contributions to Black history. Throughout the text are topic-related time-lines, word lists and word search puzzles. The magazines also employ maps, illustrations, activity pages, and an English language "math corner." (PM)
