SOCIAL STUDIES

Third graders are preparing their Fresno History Boards for Open House during class time. We are working on short reports of famous Fresno pioneer leaders including Martin Theo Kearney, Dr. Richard Meux, George Roeding, and Dr. Chester Rowell along with a display of landmarks and symbols in Fresno we have visited. Students may wish to gather facts at home to add to their reports. We wish to personalize our boards. Students may bring a 4″ x 6″ (or smaller) picture of themselves in and around Fresno possibly on a field trip or another place of interest. For example, it could be a photo with an activity such as visiting “The Big Fresno Fair” and panning for gold or in the Fresno Fort. It might be your child at the Meux Home Museum or at Coke Hallowell Center for River Studies or one of the landmarks on the Historic Walking Tour of Fresno. We are writing our final draft short reports this week and will be getting ready to assemble our shared boards near the close of the week. So think about a small touch you might like to add whether it is a postcard or item to add to make it extra fun and special. You may still bring them in this week by Friday, April 24th.

Third graders are preparing their Fresno History Boards for Open House during class time. We are working on short reports of famous Fresno pioneer leaders including Martin Theo Kearney, Dr. Richard Meux, George Roeding, and Dr. Chester Rowell along with a display of landmarks and symbols in Fresno we have visited. Students may wish to gather facts at home to add to their reports. We wish to personalize our boards. Students may bring a 4″ x 6″ (or smaller) picture of themselves in and around Fresno possibly on a field trip or another place of interest. For example, it could be a photo with an activity such as visiting “The Big Fresno Fair” and panning for gold or in the Fresno Fort. It might be your child at the Meux Home Museum or at Coke Hallowell Center for River Studies or one of the landmarks on the Historic Walking Tour of Fresno. We are writing our final draft short reports this week and will be getting ready to assemble our shared boards near the close of the week. So think about a small touch you might like to add whether it is a postcard or item to add to make it extra fun and special. You may still bring them in this week by Friday, April 24th.
