Welcome to an exciting year of history in Mrs. B's class! Please use this site to keep up with activities and events going on in your class.  

About Me:
I am a graduate of UC Davis with a BA degree in History and a BA degree in psychology. I truly enjoy being a teacher and sharing my love of history with my students!  I am a firm believer in a classroom that incorporates & encourages multi-modality learning.  Be prepared for a great hands on approach to history made possible by our TCI text book adoption.   We as a history department focus both on project based learning interspersed with traditional strategies.

What you'll learn (8th):
The eighth grade year explores the creation and birth of our nation.  We take a linear approach while linking the broader historic themes across the centuries.

U.S. Constitution (November)
