Since 1988, the United States has celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15. This month-long celebration honors the rich cultures, histories, and countless contributions of Hispanic communities across the country.
It’s the perfect opportunity to showcase the diversity of Spanish-speaking countries and bring these perspectives into the classroom.
Here are some recommended resources to help you highlight Hispanic culture in meaningful and age-appropriate ways with your elementary Spanish students:

Download this presentation I created for my classes. It’s all in Spanish. Some of the pictures are linked to videos on YouTube and Vimeo.
Last, but not least, if you are looking for a project for the month, here is a simple one that I have used in the past with my students.
¡Feliz Mes de la Herencia Hispana!

Hola Paisana! Thank you so much for the links! These are great ideas. I actually have a question. We have a Spanish dual language immersion program here in Gilbert, Arizona and we are looking for sister schools in other country’s to connect with. Do you have any schools you communicate with in Colombia? Thank you so much! I’m the program coordinator for the district and we are looking for ways our students can connect with other students around the world! Building bridges! Ya sabes 🙂
