Welcome to Texas History! We will be taking an extensive look this year at Texas not only as the state that we know today, but also at the country and land that it once was. Texas has a very unique and large history that you will enjoy learning about this year.

In the course of study for Texas History classes, students will study historical individuals, events and issues from early exploration to modern times and the impact on our state’s history. Meaningful lessons will be implemented using digital technology and traditional teaching methods. Students will be given opportunities to have a “voice” while participating in class discussions and small group activities. Vocabulary and social studies skills such as learning about cause and effect and reading maps, graphs and charts will be emphasized. Students will have the opportunity to become collaborative learners, skilled problem solvers, self-regulated learners, effective communicators and global citizens as they move forward in their journey of learning.
