My Project

A Walk Through California is an engaging, educational presentation utilizing friendly competition and lively retelling of our history curriculum. Our “in-school field trip” will allow our students to have an unforgettable historical experience through dynamic, interactive music, games, and dramatic activities that encourage participation and comprehension of the California history standards.

My students will benefit by interacting with history rather than just reading about it.

That is where real learning happens! A book is great, but being in costume and reliving history engages students on a completely different level.

My dream is for my kids to always remember what fun they had learning history in 4th grade...the year they fell in love with history.
