Our Lady of Malibu School students dressed up for "California Mission Days."

Our Lady of Malibu School fourth grade students ended their unit on the 21 California missions earlier this month with “California Mission Days.”

According to OLM, “visitors could ‘tour’ student-created models of the missions the students researched, guided by a ‘character’ who would have lived and worked at each mission” at the event. 

To prepare, the students read a historical novel and took a tour of the La Purisima mission, among other lessons. Now, the fourth graders focus on the state’s Rancho period in the 1800s.
