The eighth grade traveled to the San Antonio Holocaust Memorial Museum last week for an educational field trip. Students learned about the history of the Holocaust from volunteer docents, viewed a video, worked in groups to make connections between the Holocaust and other genocides in history, and heard personal testimonies from Holocaust survivors Rose Williams and Susanne Jalnos. The field trip experience will allow the students to bring new context to their learning as they finish reading The Diary of Anne Frank and begin reading their World War II literature circle novels. A big thank you to Ms. Bagwell for leading the students in making origami butterfly bouquets to present as gifts to the Holocaust survivors. The students stopped at Raymond Russell Park to eat lunch on the way back to Bandera.
