The Red River Curriculum Project
A Project
of the
Red River Rural Schools Partnership
June 30, 1998
We are pleased to provide this information about the Red River Curriculum Project of the Red River Rural Schools Partnership.
We hope that these ideas will spark a wide variety of exciting learning experiences across the four school districts of the Red River Rural Schools Partnership-Bradley, Bright Star, Fouke, and Genoa, Arkansas-and beyond. As our mission statement reminds us,
"We may never exhaust the sources of information about the Red River and its influence. But we owe it to our forefathers, to ourselves, and to our children to make an effort to gather data and create a statement about the impact of the Red River on our history, our culture, our economy, and our environment."
We hope that teachers will examine the Learning Activities for ideas that will work with their curricula and classrooms. The strength and innovation of the Red River Curriculum Project will stem from the teachers who join us in this exciting project.
Thank you in advance for your participation and have fun with your research on the river!
