DAUGHTERS OF THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS 2006 We were pleased and excited to nominate Ronald Mills, a seventh grade Texas history teacher at Bailey Junior High in Arlington for the Seventh Grade Texas History Teacher Award. Chapter members had visited with him and were interested in hearing more from a teacher who stimulates his students to learn though real activities. Mr. Mills tells his students stories about the past then they experience part of what life was like. They rope and brand and listen to music of the period. Students are caught up in Texas history as they play the part of an Alamo Hero. Learning activities engage his students and his students are richly rewarded. Everyone who enters his classroom has a new love for our state and for its history. God Bless Ron Mills and God Bless Texas. |
