My Students

How can we make California history come alive for our students? By taking them on a field trip to Riley's Farm to participate in the Gold Rush Adventure.

I teach at an urban school in south Los Angeles.

We are a Title I school where our students are receiving free and reduced lunch. About seventy percent of our student population is Limited English Proficient. They really enjoy learning about the history of California and having the opportunity to learn about the life of a forty-niner by living it is invaluable.

My Project

Through this hands on program, the students will experience how life was like for the forty-niners. In this program students will be treated as forty-niners by being part of the reenactments. They will find out what tools they will need to mine, where are the best locations to find gold, how to pan for gold, and how the miners feuded with the farmers. In addition, they will understand the economic concepts of supply and demand and how it affected the lives of different people living in California during the gold rush. They even get to eat a forty-niners lunch to help students understand that life as a forty-niner wasn't so easy after all.

Having such an incredible experience will help my students go beyond the textbook and really make history come alive for them.

This will help the students think deeper about the events that shaped the history of our state and how the rush west affected all. Your consideration in funding our field trip is greatly appreciated.
