O.H. Stowe Elementary fourth graders travel to Austin and San Antonio on an Education in Action Discover Texas Field Trip

O.H Stowe at the Alamo

Birdville ISD’s O.H. Stowe Elementary traveled to Austin and San Antonio on an Education in Action Discover Texas Field Trip, Friday, December 1, 2023, to experience what they are learning in Texas History. Students visited the Texas State Capitol, The Alamo, and The Witte Museum. During the charter bus ride to Austin, students discussed why Texans are so proud of their unique heritage and participated in activities and games in preparation for their day.

In Austin the students visited the Texas State Capitol where their legislators, The Honorable Kelly Hancock, State Senator, District 9 and The Honorable Stephanie Klick, State Representative, District 91, office. Students saw first-hand where Texas laws are made as they toured the State Capitol including the Senate and House of Representatives chambers. Students then traveled to San Antonio where they toured The Alamo, one of the most famous missions in the United States, and learned about the Battle of the Alamo’s role in the Texas Revolution. At the Witte Museum students explored primary artifacts and photographs from early Texas which were brought to life by a reenactor straight out of Texas history! The reenactor shared what it was like to live and work in early Texas and, through hands-on activities, taught the students how to do some of the work from that time period including roping a steer and grinding corn.

”Education in Action’s Discover Texas Field Trips are based on the understanding that the most effective way for students to learn is through experience,” stated Jennifer Pasteur, Education in Action’s Executive Director. ”Student activities during Discover Texas Field Trips reinforce and supplement Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) learning objectives in fun and hands-on ways at significant Texas sites that bring the content to life.”
