Ever wonder why National Hispanic heritage Month starts in the middle of this month? September 15 was the date chosen to start the celebration because five Latin American countries — Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua — celebrate their independence on this date.
The PBS LearningMedia collection, Latino Americans, provides a rich array of bilingual lesson plans, activities, videos, and other classroom resources for grades 4-13+. You can join Antonio Gomez, Education Director at KCTS, to find out how you can use engaging, CCSS-aligned resources
to enhance your next social studies lesson. View the recorded Latinos American webinar or the entire collection.
