Education World Lesson Planning: Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month!: September 15 to October 15 is National Hispanic Heritage Month. Education World offers a pinata full of activities that will help teachers focus attention on the contributions of people of Hispanic heritage to the history of the United States.
Today, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 44 million people in the United States are of Hispanic origin. That's about 14 percent of us!
Teaching of the contributions of Hispanic Americans, and learning about the cultures from which they come, will be the focal point of many classroom activities and discussions in the weeks ahead as students across the United States recognize Hispanic Heritage Month -- September 15 to October 15.
