FINALLY- a video about the missions!
I've been a teacher for 5 years now, and I've searched high and low for a California Missions video for my 4th graders! There has not been a single video out there (at an elementary level), and this is an essential part of the 4th grade curriculum! California Jones, the host, is an energetic, hilarious character who makes learning about the CA Missions fun-- I really liked the activites (making adobe bricks) and frequent 'pop quizzes' as well! Can't wait to see more of these kids videos about history!

Excellent educational resource!
If you are having trouble getting your child interested in history, this is a video for you! With an upbeat host, fun sketches and exciting visual aids, this DVD can really help excite a young mind. It makes history so fun, kids won't even realize that they're learning. I can see this being useful for both individual parents as well as teachers.
