Basque Museum:
The Basque Museum and the Basque block have a lot to offer a field trip. Students can tour the museum and visit the boarding house. Before going on a field trip to the Basque block you can rent a educational trunk from the museum. This trunk includes 5 lessons about different aspects of the Basque culture. This allows you to build the student's knowledge and prepare them for a field trip. The field trip can be tied into many social studies and history standards. It would be a fantastic trip to expand 4th grader's knowledge about Idaho History. But you could also tie it in with immigration studies. Afterwards you could have students write from the perspective a basque person moving to America and Idaho.

Anne Frank Memorial:
The Anne Frank Memorial is a fantastic place for children to visit. The Idaho Human Rights education center has several lesson plans you can choose from to build your student's prior knowledge before visiting the site. Not only can you tie a visit to the Anne Frank Memorial into history but you can use to teach diversity and the importance of acceptance of other's differences.
