As we have been reading and studying the missions of California, I thought that you would be interested in this link: http://library.thinkquest.org/3615/
The site, created by two high school students, answers many questions that you may have about the mission system first created by the Spanish padre, Father Serra. Have fun exploring! Let me know what you find interesting.

Welcome.
Speaking, listening, reading, and writing are immensely important skills that students need in order to be successful in the modern world. This class will focus on the development of these skills as we learn about American history this year. We will investigate Native American society prior to European settlement, and also discuss the influence of Spanish and English colonization to our country's history.
