School tours rock at AHS Museum

The lobby was filled with the sounds of 4th graders as they examined the exhibits and roamed the AHS Museum at Papago Park on Wed, May 20, 2015. Much better than reading a textbook on Arizona history, the displays brought the history to life.

Students especially enjoy the new Rock and Mineral exhibits.

Much more upstairs

Discovering the 2014 Historymakers Wall exhibit

Ready to see the displays

Glad to see teacher Derilyn Paddock organize this field trip for 76 fourth graders from Florence K-8 schools.

Centennial book popular with history teachers

History teacher Vaunee Ann Lewis needs research on WWII for her class. After showing her the biographies and photos of  John Rhodes, Morrison Warren, Eugene Grigsby Jr, Bil Keane, Navajo Code Talkers,  and Bill Kajikawa, she was ready to encourage her students to use this Centennial book.

4th graders at Franklin at Brimhall in the Mesa Public School district are learning more about individual stories and the human side of history through Arizona Historymakers.
