History-Social Science Content Standards for California Public Schools, Grade Four covered on the fieldtrip:

• Pre-Columbian life of California Indians

• How their hunter-gatherer lives were affected by the missions

• Why Spain established the missions

• How everyone’s lives changed again with secularization, ending the Mission Period

Hands-on activities are conducted outdoors in the afternoon on the Full Day Field Trip. They include Ohlone children’s games and a guided nature walk through a garden of indigenous and Spanish-introduced plants. A docent, with the help of the teacher and parents, will assist the students as they rotate through the activities. We also have rainy day alternatives. Our friendly docents love kids and encourage students to ask questions about what they see and link their observations to important concepts.

We accept up to 30 students for Full-day field trips, and up to 60* (two classrooms from the same school) for Half-day field trips. Contact us for groups smaller than 15 students.

Field trips are not recommended for students younger than 4th grade, however, special arrangements can be made by contacting us at info@missionsanjose.org.
