Our journey to General Vallejo's Home- Sonoma Mission and General Vallejo's Home is an important field trip taken in the 4th grade.. This trip aligns with our Social Studies focus that emphasizes the Spanish and Mexican influence on California. We begin our day at the mission in Sonoma. From here, we visit the Sonoma Barracks, where students participate in a historical scavenger hunt. After lunch at the park, we embark on the one-mile hike to General Vallejo's home where students learn all about General Vallejo and his family. We tour the grounds, including the Vallejo's old family home and learn about what life would have been like in the 1800's.
