History with Mrs. Broyles
Do you want help teaching history?
Mrs. Broyles from the Bear Valley campus has graciously offered to share her “History with Mrs. Broyles” self-guided Schoology course with us! A/B and C track students in grades 1st through 6th can use this course created by Mrs. Broyles. The course is designed to support families teaching history at home with video lessons, read-alouds, optional crafts, and extension activities. It aligns the learning across grade levels with differentiated assignments so families can learn history together.
Use this access code: Q93G-PFPT-9CJFP to add “TCA History with Mrs. Broyles” to your student's Schoology dashboard.
*Please note: Mrs. Broyles will not be monitoring this course and there will be no access to a teacher. The course is intended to be taught at home, by the parent educator.
