Hispanic Heritage Month started yesterday, September 15, and runs through October 15. If you're wondering why it starts on September 15 and not the first of the month, the date was chosen because it is the anniversary of independence for five Central American countries, while independence days for some other countries follow soon after. Here are a few good resources to consult to learn more about Hispanic Americans, the Spanish language, quizzes and games, lessons, and more:
- FactMonster - Hispanic Heritage Month - information and games
- Smithsonian Institute - Hispanic Heritage Virtual Tour
- Scholastic.com - Celebrate Hispanic Heritage!
- National Register of Historic Places - Hispanic Heritage Month
- U.S. Census Press Release - Hispanic Heritage - statistics and data on Hispanic Americans
