Chamizal National Memorial
Curriculum Materials
 

The Memorial focuses on developing cross-curricular lesson plans that meet state standards and teach about the significance of the park. Many of these lessons can easily be modified to meet the needs of students from other grade levels.

 
Kids in Home Classroom
Students from Douglass Elementary participate in a project that teaches the history of the Memorial and encourages them to make their own connections to the park.
