Class experience

US Grade 4 - 7
Students will learn about the people and events that were active in the founding of America, the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, WWI, the Industrial Revolution, the Great Depression, and WWII. 
I have a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education with a declared minor in Psychology. In addition to my degree, which covers all academic subjects taught at the Elementary level,  I have also completed multiple courses on American history and Western Civilization. My focus on Psychology brings insight to studying individuals and events to be discussed from a historical standpoint.  As a teacher, I have taught over 200 online classes, including a variety of history courses, and I am familiar with effective course formats.

Parents should be advised that much of the material in this class will focus on wars throughout history, however, I do not intend on discussing any graphic details of violent elements. Additionally, sensitive language and social issues may be addressed as part of historic events. Age appropriateness is at the forefront of all of my lesson planning. This class will follow the curriculum recommendations of the state of Colorado for 5th grade students.
