The Story Begins

The students in 4D are learning their Texas history. Many know the story of the Alamo and its defenders, but do you know how it all began?

Names to know:
Stephen F. Austin
Jane Long
Father Miguel Hidalgo

Places to know:
Saltillo, Mexico
San Felipe de Austin

Terms to know:
revolution
empresario
colony

As we read, we are using technology to record our learning. Our students created graphic organizers with Kidspiration, and we taught each other how to use the features of the program. 


Technology is a tool for learning, and 4D students go paperless whenever they can!
