As we make our way through history, a major topic of study is slavery.The institution of Slavery spans from colonial times with the first slaves arriving at Jamestown in 1619 and culminating in the bloody Civil War and the ratification of the XIII Amendment in 1865.
One of the great stories found in this tragic episode of history is the triumph of those who operated the Underground Railroad.
Harriet Tubman (a former slave) and thousands of others both black and white /enslaved and free kept hope alive by saving and inspiring untold thousands.
The movie we will start on Monday is the extraordinary tale of Harriet Tubman's escape from slavery and transformation into one of America's greatest heroes, whose courage, ingenuity, and tenacity freed hundreds of enslaved people and changed the course of history.
The movie has strong language and violence - students will be expected to approach this movie with maturity and respect.

California Department of Education/VFW:
California State Teacher of the Year Award
2014
What an incredible honor to have traveled with my family up to the California State Capital in Sacramento to receive this award. It was an exciting experience that I will always draw strength and power from. To be commended and given ovation for teaching kids what I love and for following my passion is ...oh so incredible.
Thank you to the California Department of Education and the state and local VFW, the Rosedale District and my friends and colleagues for the pat on the back- with a special thank you to Gina, Valerie, Betsy, Rosanne, Chuck and Michael - for teaching me to be a better teacher everyday; and, thanks for keeping me out of trouble (and/or dragging you into it) - sometimes.
To my Mom and Dad --fearless warriors, selfless servants, unwavering unionists, standing up for public education for 80 years collectively -- I am eternally indebted - you are my heroes and my inspiration each and every moment both in and out of the classroom.
To Susie, Ally and JPjr - thanks for putting up with your "History Teacher" husband/dad. I know it can be a bit overbearing at times.
