Westward Expansion and Beyond
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Jang's classroom raised $257
This project is fully funded
My Project
My students are going to write an information book on California history, which includes different topics of research. The areas of research is the time of Westward Expansion, the Pony Express, the building and completion of the Transcontinental Railroad, and the Gold Rush.
I want to make more research resource books available to my students as they dive into historical fiction and nonfiction writing.
My students are driven and inspired. We will be focusing on the last part of our school year on California history. Help me send them back in time to see what California was like in the 1800's with this collection of books.
