US History (5th-6th)

Class Title: US History

Grades: 5th & 6th Grade

Course Description: Welcome to U.S. History: Exploration through the Birth of a
Nation. I look forward to fostering a love for history this year! America’s story is about
people who struggled, bled, cried, laughed, danced, sang, prayed, and dreamed of a
brighter future. Some are famous, but most are not. The seasick woman aboard the
Mayflower, the child separated from his parents forever at the slave auction, the Native
Americans who showed Europeans how to plant corn, and the men who dumped tea
into a dark Boston Harbor on a cold December night. Students will learn through
hands-on activities like escape rooms and log cabin building. The history of our country
is remarkable, and I can't wait to share it with your students!

Cost of Class (per semester): $285

Bio: I have a California Multiple Subjects Teaching Credential and a Master's degree in
Education. As an educator, my goal is to develop lifelong learners and critical thinkers
so that students can use their skills to influence the world around them. I find immense
joy in teaching and a desire to reach children through differentiated activities. My
husband and I have two children, Peyton and Noah. Our family enjoys walks and trips to
the beach. I am a reading enthusiast! I enjoy children’s literature and historical fiction. I
have taught full-time in private education and now in the homeschooling community.
With my oldest now attending PCPrep, I am so thankful to be part of this school and the
sweet community here.
