California Early History Grade Range: 4
Printable e-book on Teacher Resources. This book, California Early History, was written as a simplified, yet complete, resource book for you to use in your classroom or at home. The activities can be used as a supplement to your regular history curriculum. There are twelve separate sections in this book. The first eleven sections cover California’s history from the discovery days through statehood. Each of these sections is written in such a way that it can be used individually - without going in order - or they can all be completed in order (which we recommend). The sections are arranged chronologically in the book. Section twelve is the answer key.
