Sam Houston Park

The Soaring Pilots had an amazing trip to downtown Houston to learn all about the history of our city. Thank you to all the parents for helping and making the trip a huge success. When we returned to the classroom we wrote some newspaper articles about our trip. Here are some excerpts:
Amazing story about kids. Kids go to Sam Houston Park and saw different historic structures like a house called Old Place. The kids saw things outside the structures then they went inside the structures and touched the things the people used in everyday life. They also experienced how they would live. by Grace
At about 12:30 in the museum Ms. Musters class entered a room to watch a movie. Whey they went to the Duncan Store they saw a lot of things that were mentioned in the movie. We actually touched and played with the stuff! At the Old Place we saw a butter maker and an teeny bed, also an outhouse! by Arianna
The Heritage Society is a lot of houses that are from he past. Today on Friday September 30, 2011, Ms. Musters' class went to three houses and did a scavenger hunt. by Sarah
Sam Houston Park is a park that stores all of the old houses. Mrs. Musters' class visited Old Place, St. John Church, Yates house and the Duncan Store. It was amazing. to all of Ms. Musters' class Bailey said, " IT WAS A SPLENDID TRIP."

Sam Houston Park

The Soaring Pilots took their first field trip to downtown Houston. We had the perfect weather and plenty of helping parents. We learned a lot from our tour guides about the history of Houston. (remember to hit pause on the playlist at the end of the blog)

Houston Timelines

The Soaring Pilots stopped by first grade to hear how they developed their timelines. We wanted to apply that information to our own idea to make a timeline of the history of how Houston was established. Our class has been reading and watching informational videos to find out more how Texas came to be Texas and how Houston the city began. After our lesson, we brainstormed the dates and ideas that would need to be on our timelines. We spend some time sharing and discussing in a conference. Next, we turned our brainstorming information into a timeline about the history of Houston.
