On Monday, we didn't have school because it was Martin Luther King Day. On Tuesday, we started making mimi books of California Explorers. The explorers we studied were Juan Cabrillo, Sebastian Vizcaino, and Sir Francis Drake. Did you know that Juan Cabrillo lead the first expedition to Northern California? Sebastian Viscanio landed in San Diego on November 10, 1602. And, Sir Francis Drake was sent by Queen Elizabeth on his expedition. He took land from the Spanish and was knighted and received 10,000 pounds from Queen Elizabeth. Drake died from a fever at sea in 1596. On Thursday, we wrote facts about each explorer and hung them on the bulletin board. Later that night from 6:00-7:00 parents come to a technology meeting while the children hung out in Mrs. Becker's classroom.
