Hi class! Today we're going to learn about the California Mission System. The missions were special communities built by Spanish missionaries (called Franciscans) between 1769 and 1833. Think of them as little cities where Native Americans and Spanish missionaries lived together. The missionaries wanted to teach Native Americans about Christianity and European ways of life.

# data[].attributes.body
The Spanish had two main reasons for building the missions:
1. The Spanish government wanted to make friends with Native Americans to protect California from other countries like England and Russia
2. The Franciscan missionaries wanted to teach Native Americans about Christianity and European culture
Can you think of other reasons why Spain might have wanted to build these missions?

Each mission was like a giant farm! The people who lived there grew their own food:
- Wheat for bread
- Fruits and vegetables
- Grapes for wine (for the adults!)
- Olives for oil
They also raised cattle for meat and leather. What do you think it would be like to live on such a big farm?

# data[].attributes.body
Let's imagine a typical day at a mission:
- Morning: Wake up at sunrise for prayers
- Morning to afternoon: Work in fields or learn crafts
- Meals: Eat together as a community
- Evening: More prayers and rest
The missionaries created a very structured daily schedule for everyone living at the mission.

# data[].attributes.body
The missions were built using special techniques:
- Adobe bricks made from clay and straw
- Thick walls to keep buildings cool
- Beautiful arches and bell towers
Many missions took years to build, and some are still standing today! What do you notice about mission architecture that makes it unique?

# data[].attributes.body
At the missions, Native Americans learned many new skills:
- Farming with new tools
- Carpentry and blacksmithing
- Weaving and sewing
- Making pottery and leather goods
What skills would you have been most interested in learning?

# data[].attributes.body
It's important to understand that mission life brought big changes for Native Americans:
- They had to leave their traditional homes
- They had to learn new ways of life
- Many became sick from new diseases
- They weren't allowed to practice their traditional customs
Why do you think it's important to learn about both the positive and difficult parts of history?

# data[].attributes.body
Many California missions are still standing today! They are now museums where we can learn about this important part of California's history. Some things you can see when visiting:
- Original buildings and gardens
- Historical artifacts
- Beautiful churches
- Museums with interactive exhibits
Have any of you visited a California mission?
