Students taking a virtual tour of the Regions of Texas

 Tour Big Bend National Park

Texas Region Tour





Howdy Partners!!!!  What an exciting week we have had already!  This week we are learning about the 4 Regions of Texas.  In order to learn about the landforms, climates, vegetation, major cities and landmarks of these regions we are taking a "virtual" tour. We will travel to the Mountains and Basin region by plane, travel to the High Plains on a train, take a Crop Duster to the Central Plains region, and enjoy a boat ride to the Gulf Coastal Plains!  While we are touring, the students have been asked to complete a tour journal and a scrapbook page for each region.  Here a few examples.

MEET THE AUTHOR

Patricia Barber Polacco is the author and illustrator of numerous picture books for children. She struggled in school because she was unable to read until age 14 due to dyslexia; she found relief by expressing herself through art.  Patricia Polacco is our "Author" of the month.  Enjoy reading her realistic fiction books!

My Culture

Welcome to Texas history!  We are off to a great start and an amazing adventure in learning about our Lone Star State! As you know Texas is a melting pot. Meaning, we have different cultures, people, and traditions that make up this great state.  This is what makes Texas so unique. The students in my classroom are also unique.  Here are a few of their culture posters that they created!
