I came across these videos while looking for resources for Hispanic Heritage Month and thought some of you might like them. To save you some time, I placed them all here in one post. Unfortunately, there are only 8 vides of the Spanish Speaking countries. Hopefully, Patito de Hule might create more and add them to their YouTube channel soon! What I like about these videos is that they are concrete and easy to understand, making them perfect for elementary students.

Here are two fun songs that your students can learn!

PBS has a series of documentaries about the history, experiences, and contributions of Hispanics in the United States. This is a great resource for any teacher who wishes to expand his/her knowledge about this important celebration in the United States.

Every year since 1988 the United States recognizes September 15 to October 15 as Hispanic Heritage Month. It’s a month to celebrate the different Hispanic cultures and their contributions to the United States. 

What a great opportunity to highlight the diversity of the different Spanish Speaking countries! Here are some recommended resources for elementary Spanish:

Hispanic Heritage Month Project for Elementary School

Hispanic Heritage Month Project for Elementary School

by | Jun 5, 2015 | culture, Hispanic Heritage Month

I have decided to go ahead and end the school year with an engaging project that can be used at the beginning of the new school year. Every year, from September 15th to October 15th, Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated in the United States. It’s a month to celebrate the Hispanic presence in the US and contributions to the country.
This celebration starts just a week after the school year has started here in Massachusetts. Because it’s so early in the school year, I feel it’s hard to start my class with a project when I am working hard just to make sure everyone understands the routine and dynamic of the class as we get used to new year.
I found a simple project posted on a middle school blog run by Señorita Lona. This past school year, I piggy-backed on her project for creating this poster. I had my third grade students pick a famous Hispanic person from the list below.

They did basic research on Wikipedia to find the person’s full name, date of birth, country of origin, and why the person was famous. They had to pretend they all were alive to be able to write the sentences in the present tense.  Due to the limited time I had available for the project, I gave my students the questions in advance that they had to glue on their posters.

After getting all the information together, they had to answer using full sentences and decorate their posters.
Many of the students worked in pairs during this project. We recorded their voices with one being the interviewer and the other one being the interviewee, using a free version of the app called “Voice Record.” Then I created the QR codes with a free program called “QR code.” I plan to display the posters around the school  in September and invite family members, school staff, and faculty to use their devices to listen to the children reading their interviews.  That will be a starting point for my students to help celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month in my school.
Enjoy!
