Fourth Grade Social Studies - California's History
We use MacMillan/McGraw-Hill's California Vistas: Our Golden State textbook. Fourth grade is the year students study California in-depth.
Unit 1: The Golden State - Our Home
As we journey through California's history, we will work on various projects to deepen our knowledge of our great state. Students will have the opportunity to create Keynote (PowerPoint) projects about historical figures and events, and will even have a chance to "teach" the class about what they have learned.
