Contributions of Important Texas Leaders


In Kindergarten, we have two very important Texas leaders to learn about:
-Stephen F. Austin
-Jose Navarro

As a class, we discussed what a contribution is. 
We talked about how we can contribute at home, school or even in our community.
Here are a few of the contributions we came up with:
-Helping others when they are hurt
-Picking up trash in our classroom or around our school
-Cleaning up our rooms at home
-Giving food to the needy

We tied our discussion of contributions to our special Texas leaders. 
How did these leaders contribute to our state?

Stephen F. Austin contributions to Texas:
-He helped bring families to Texas to live.
-Schools and a university is named after him
-Our state capital is named "Austin" from SFA
-Known as the "Father of Texas"


We compared George Washington to SFA.
How did they both contribute to us as Texans and Americans?





Safety Town Fun!


We had a blast at Frisco Fire Safety Town on Friday!
Thank you to all of the parent volunteers who came
to help out during our field trip.
