Barbara Bush Middle School Hosts Student Teachers from Korea
As an IB World School, Barbara Bush Middle School has been fortunate to have teachers from Ewha University, observing and teaching our students for the last few days. Coming all the way from Seoul, South Korea, we have learned about their language, their history and their culture. Other student teachers have been observing and teaching at Las Colinas Elementary and Ranchview High School. We applaud these young ladies for being risk-takers by teaching about many diverse topics in their second language.

Thompson Elementary Gets a Visit from the Dallas Opera
3rd-5th grade students at Thompson Elementary had some special visitors January 24th. Performers with the Dallas Opera came to present Mozart’s, “Bastien & Bastienne.” After enjoying the show, students learned that Mozart composed the opera when he was only 12 years old. We hope some students were inspired to create something of their own. They’re never too young to start!
Las Colinas Elementary Students Travel to Austin
4th Graders from Las Colinas Elementary traveled to Waco & Austin on an Education in Action Discover Texas Field Trip on January 20th. They were able to experience what they are learning in fourth grade Texas History. Students visited the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum, the Texas State Capitol, and the Bullock Texas State History Museum.
During the charter bus ride to their first destination, the students discussed why Texans are so proud of their unique heritage and participated in activities and games in preparation for their day. At their first stop, the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum in Waco, students learned the history of the Texas Rangers and explored exhibits about Texas’s earliest inhabitants and its many unique geographical regions. They then traveled to Austin to see the Texas State Capitol where their legislators, The Honorable Don Huffines, State Senator, District 16 and The Honorable Matt Rinaldi, State Representative, District 115, office. Students saw first-hand where Texas laws are made as they toured the State Capitol including the Senate and House of Representatives chambers. At the Bullock Texas State History Museum students traveled in time through the Texas Revolution and learned about the events that created our Lone Star identity. The students’ visit to the museum concluded at the multi-sensory Texas Spirit Theater with the Star of Destiny where they saw and experienced the history of our great state including a gusher exploding from an East Texas oil derrick and the takeoff of Saturn V as seen from Mission Control at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston.
“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 Lacey Phillips, Discover Texas Field Trips Director. “Student activities during the Discover Texas Field Trip to Austin reinforce and supplement fourth grade Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) learning objectives with a focus on why Texans are so proud of their unique heritage.”
Education in Action’s Discover Texas Field Trips make it easy for teachers to take their 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade classrooms on organized, fun, and educational site-based learning experiences. Discover Texas Field Trip staff members handle all details, including round-trip charter bus transportation, reservations, and TEKS-based program curriculum, so participating teachers can focus on their students and making connections between the experience and what students are learning in the classroom.
Discover Texas Field Trips are presented by Education in Action, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to fostering educated and involved young people. In addition to one-day Discover Texas Field Trips to Austin, San Antonio, Waco/Georgetown, Dallas, and Fort Worth, Education in Action also offers summer Lone Star Leadership Academy camps for outstanding 4th-8th graders. During the weeklong, overnight camps, participants experience significant Texas sites in Dallas/Fort Worth, Austin/San Antonio, or Houston/Galveston with Texas educators and a focus on leadership.
