Hispanic Heritage Month is September 15 – October 15! As Spanish teachers, we get to celebrate it all year long! Before we begin a month of celebrating Latino heritage, let’s provide context. Do your beginning Spanish students know where Spanish is spoken? Teaching about Spanish-speaking countries is a fun way to get students ready for HHM. If you need Spanish-speaking countries activities for Spanish class, I have FIVE activities to learn the names of 21 Hispanic countries.

Resources, activities & ideas for teaching Mexican food / La Comida Mexicana in Spanish class! Use on Cinco de Mayo or the end of the year

There are so many misconceptions about what Cinco de Mayo celebrates. Our job as Spanish teachers is to help students go beyond the tacos and sombreros to understand the true meaning and history behind Cinco de Mayo—and make it engaging and memorable in the process. Make that happen with these Spanish Cinco de Mayo activities!
