This grant provided a supplement to what students are learning in Texas History and English class through a virtual trip. Students will follow the battles of the Texas Revolution across the state with virtual stops at The Alamo and San Jacinto Battleground Monument as well as a virtual tour of the Texas Capitol to see where the events of the revolution are commemorated and our law-making process take place. Funds will be used to purchase Discover Texas field trip kits with souvenirs, learning materials, hands-on activities, research journals, and more.

This grant will provide every classroom in Dunbar Middle School with a wireless document camera. This allows teachers to utilize the "power zone" more frequently while projecting information to students. Teachers can also allow students to share their work more easily by placing the document camera on a student's desk.
