Last week, our 4th grade students set off for the Lazy W Ranch, which included a detour to Mission San Juan Capistrano. While at the mission, students caught a glimpse into the daily life of early California settlers. Highlights of the mission included the Serra Chapel and the Ruins of the Great Stone Church. Students learned about four different cultural periods that make up California's history: Native American, Spanish Settlement, Mexican Rancho, and the Gold Rush. During the program, they worked together with classmates to build a Native American brush shelter, made adobe bricks, explored Native American plant uses, learned how to grind corn to make tortillas, and panned for gold. All of the students had a fun time, and the 4th graders are looking forward to their Sacramento trip in March.
