My Students

I have a curious, energetic, responsible bunch of fourth graders! They come from diverse backgrounds, and our school is one where diversity is celebrated and access to the world is encouraged.

They love learning more about themselves, each other, and the world.

They are definitely voracious readers and enjoy learning about history. We love to go on field trips to really make history come alive as we learn about California Native Americans, European explorers, missions, ranchos, and the Gold Rush.

My Project

Students learn so much about history through experience. Our class will be participating in an Environmental Living Program (ELP) at Petaluma Adobe Historic Park. The students will be able to participate in activities that reflect rancho life from 1830's/1840's California.

While the experience is priceless, the transportation costs are substantial.

Helping fund our transportation costs to Petaluma Adobe will ensure that my students' families can put their time, energy, and resources towards getting the other items needed to make this trip a success. Students will walk away from this trip with increased independence and a deeper understanding of California history.
