4th, 6th, & 7th Grade Social Studies - San Antonio and Austin, TX
Take your 4th, 6th or 7th graders to San Antonio, with an optional stop in Austin, to experience first-hand what they're learning in social studies! The story of the Texas Revolution comes to life as your young historians tour The Alamo in San Antonio and the Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin. Or choose to stay in San Antonio to explore primary artifacts and photographs from early Texas at the Witte Museum. A reenactor straight out of Texas history brings the exhibits to life as they share what it was like to live and work in early Texas. Through hands-on activities, the students learn how to do work from that time period including roping a steer and grinding corn.
This program includes an optional visit to explore the Texas State Capitol with a focus on the legislative process (for schools south of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex only).
