As part of the program, every third <br />grader is invited to attend an hour -long history <br />lesson at Angel Stadium. This lesson is the kick -off <br />to learning about Orange County's great history. <br />Following the lesson, students are given a history <br />book about Orange County, entitled Nothing <br />Rhymes with Orange, which was written specifically <br />for third graders. <br />"This event is truly a fun, <br />exciting, new, beneficial <br />way to make history <br />come alive!" <br />-3'd Grade Teacher <br />Tustin Unified School District <br />Following the event, teachers and students have <br />access to learning opportunities throughout the <br />year, including online quizzes, essay contests, and <br />mini lessons with activities. <br />'Students come back with a TON of knowledge about <br />Orange County. And even better, they are excited to <br />read the book Nothing Rhymes with Orange due to <br />the enthusiasm created from this event. " <br />-3'd Grade Teacher, <br />Ocean View School District <br />WHY WE PROMOTE HISTORY <br />When children take an interest in history, they take <br />an interest in themselves and in their communities. <br />By working together as a community, we can instill a <br />sense of pride in Orange County's youth about where <br />they came from, where they are going, and how they <br />can learn from the past to make a better future. <br />This innovative vision calls for students from across <br />Orange County to come together as neighbors and <br />see that they are part of, and contributors to, <br />something larger than themselves, their families, and <br />local neighborhoods. <br />29A -4 <br />
