CA History

When I moved to California in July 2005 I found a teaching job in South LA at a charter school. They gave me the option of Kindergarten or 4th grade. I had never taught either.  On the one hand, I thought, teaching 4th grade would give me a quick education in California history, which could be interesting and helpful as a new resident.  On the other hand, fourth grade math.  ( ha ha). So I went with Kindergarten.  Now that I have a fourth grader, I have a new opportunity to educate myself about California history.
