Peralta Adobe (downtown San José)

GRADE 4
STANDARDS: SS 4.2.3, 4.2.5, 4.2.8; LA Listening & Speaking 1.3; Science 6B

Students will help with the daily chores of El Pueblo de San José de Guadalupe. They make an adobe brick, dip a candle, design a brand, rope a steer, card wool, weave, grind maiz, fry a tortilla, and make yerba buena tea, create a corn husk figure and dress up in Californio clothes. Students should pack a snack; they'll take turns snacking and exploring the Adobe. Feel free to bring your own camera to take pictures of students in costume or purchase a disposable camera from us on the day of your visit.
