 Happy September! The Statistics in Schools (SIS) program is here to help you prepare for a busy month of observances with resources for Hispanic Heritage Month, Constitution Day, and more. Encourage statistical literacy while using real-life data with our Fun Facts handouts and interactive Kahoot! games. They are sure to get students engaged and interested in learning!
 Hispanic Heritage Month
 Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrated from September 15 to October 15 each year, recognizes the many contributions of the nation’s Hispanic population whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America.
 
 
 Did you know that the Hispanic population in 2022 made up almost 20% of the nation’s total population? Discover more interesting facts about our diverse nation with our Hispanic Heritage Month Fun Facts handout. The accompanying teaching guide provides grade-relevant ideas on how to incorporate the data into your classroom for discussion such as state comparisons and exploring trends in education data.

 Another great way to teach students about the nation’s Hispanic population is to have them play our Hispanic Heritage Month Trivia Kahoot! game. Challenge them with this quiz on topics from the estimated Hispanic population to countries that celebrate their independence on September 15. (Hint: The countries have a link to the dates of Hispanic Heritage Month.)
 Play Kahoot!
 
 
 Do your students know the Hispanic population in their state? How about in other states across the nation? Our new warm-up activity, What Is the Hispanic or Latino Population in Your State? is coming later this month! Students can learn about the varying percentages of Hispanic population across our nation.
 Constitution Day
 
 September 17 is Constitution Day. Did you know there’s a link between the U.S. Constitution and the Census Bureau? The U.S. Constitution mandates the Census Bureau to conduct a count of the nation’s population every 10 years. Our newly updated Constitution Day Fun Facts handout has relevant data to mark the occasion. Use it and our other resources to boost students’ civic literacy and show them how important the U.S. Constitution is to our country’s past, present, and future.

 Fall Kahoot! Game
 Planning to go apple picking this fall? What do you think the value was of fresh apples the U.S. exported in 2021?
Gear up for fall festivities with our Kahoot! game, Harvests and Hayrides: Fall Fun with Census Data. Test students’ knowledge on cool stuff like the number of pumpkins and apples the U.S. exports; U.S. places with spooky-sounding names; the state projected to raise the most turkeys— and more!
 Play Kahoot!
 
 
 Voter Registration Day
 
 September 28 is Voter Registration Day! This special observance helps bring awareness to voter registration opportunities to prepare your students and future voters for upcoming elections. Our Voting Trends in America elementary history activity is a great way to show students the percentages of people (by race, age, sex, region, and education) who voted in elections between 1964 and 2020.

 National Good Neighbor Day
 This day is a great opportunity to nourish relationships with neighbors and teach younger students about their community. Our elementary school geography activity, Getting to Know Your Neighbor, has young students use demographic characteristics to create population pyramids and review older data to find changes and trends over time. Skills taught include analyzing data, comparing and contrasting, and using demographic characteristics to describe a population.
