California has 40 (?) missions that were founded by the Spanish in the 18th century (?), so we study all the missions as part of CA history. It's pretty fun. The town I grew up in had a mission, but it's mostly gone now. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-mission-project-in-the-4th-grade#post-1497767 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 07:41:09 +0000 septca 1497767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, it's a CA thing. In most states, you do state history in 4th grade. My husband did a full Boston tea party renactment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-mission-project-in-the-4th-grade#post-1497745 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 07:10:07 +0000 Charm54 1497745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never heard of this either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-mission-project-in-the-4th-grade#post-1497726 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 06:52:46 +0000 Smurfette 1497726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: what is it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-mission-project-in-the-4th-grade#post-1497725 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 06:51:15 +0000 mediagirl 1497725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: was this through church? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-mission-project-in-the-4th-grade#post-1497677 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 04:51:12 +0000 anonysquire 1497677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MediaNaranja: omg yes!!

He chose Mission Santa Barbara too and just told me that he used the mission he made as a garage for his GI Joes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-mission-project-in-the-4th-grade#post-1497445 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 21:00:30 +0000 spaniellove 1497445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey: They might have something just as fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-mission-project-in-the-4th-grade#post-1497441 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 20:59:58 +0000 matador84 1497441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but in Texas kids take Texas History in 4th grade so there are similar projects!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-mission-project-in-the-4th-grade#post-1497440 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 20:58:10 +0000 chopsuey 1497440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha ok cool! :) :( I always imagined helping my kids with their mission projects!

We spent the year taking on the identity of a real member of the Donner Party and had this elaborate thing in the classroom, like we received shells as incentives that we could use as currency during our Fort stay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-mission-project-in-the-4th-grade#post-1497429 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 20:51:41 +0000 MediaNaranja 1497429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think 4th grade you focus on your state's history, so it makes sense that in CA you'd talk about the missions :)</p> <p>I know that in 4th grade we did a big Utah history thing, where we talked about fur trappers and rendezvous, and had a big "rendezvous" at our school where you had to bring homemade things and then trade and barter with other kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-mission-project-in-the-4th-grade#post-1497428 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 20:51:29 +0000 hellobeeboston 1497428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never heard of this - east coaster here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-mission-project-in-the-4th-grade#post-1497426 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 20:49:42 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1497426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure what this is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-do-a-mission-project-in-the-4th-grade#post-1497425 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 20:47:54 +0000 chopsuey 1497425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Or is it just a CA thing? </p> <p>I chose Mission Santa Barbara :D </p>
