History Resources

From Black History Month to Thanksgiving, special events throughout the school year present a number of learning opportunities for students of all ages. Explain the background behind historical events by introducing students to relevant cultures and languages. When teaching the French Revolution, French language worksheets connect students with French culture, just as Spanish provides a deeper connection with the missions of New Spain.
