"September 15 to October 15 is National Hispanic Heritage Month. Education World offers a piñata full of activities that will help teachers focus attention on the contributions of people of Hispanic heritage to the history of the United States.



Stats from U.S. Census
--- Of every two people added to the U.S. population between July 1, 2003, and July 1, 2004, one was Hispanic.
--- In 2050, it is projected that Hispanics will constitute 24 percent of the nation’s total population.
--- The nation’s Hispanic population has doubled since the 1990 census.
--- Roughly half of the nation’s Dominicans live in New York City; about half of the nation’s Cubans reside in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
--- California is home to 12.4 million Hispanics. Texas is home to 7.8 million.
--- Thirteen states have at least half a million Hispanic residents.
--- New Mexico has the largest Hispanic population by percent of total population (43%). Hispanics make up 35 percent of the population in California and Texas.
--- Hispanics have a higher concentration of preschoolers (11%) among their population than any other race or ethnic group.
