First Week Back!
Students just finished up their "Exploration Game" skits and Age of Contact DOLs. They did an amazing job exploring our European Explorers! Special shout out to our "B Day" kiddos who did everything in the gym due to a cut power line! They were troopers. Check out photos of our students performing below!
This week, students start Spanish Colonial, which is all about the mission system and gearing up for Mexican National, when Mexico wins their independence from Spain.
Topics To Bring Up:
Have we ever been to a location in Texas that has a mission? (... the Alamo was one!) If so, what do you remember about the visit?
What was the purpose of the mission system in Texas? Do you think it was successful? Why?
Who were filibusters and what did they do?Â
What is the significance of 1718? (This is our important year for the era!)
Share your conversations, pictures, and more by emailing them to baibrown@dallasisd.org or using Remind. I can't wait to hear about how your students are sharing their learning at home!
